Yeah that's really the only failure point on the engines, either that or it started to burn oil and was unknowingly ran low.

He isn't the first one to have a rod knock on this forum. He's about number 6 since I've been on this forum. Being an '09, I suspect the galley gaskets.

Behind the front engine cover, behind the timing chain. There is 2 gaskets that seal off the oil galley. On the early models, these have been known to leak / blow out. When this happens. You will lose oil pressure, either slowly or all of a sudden. The engine will lose pressure to the crank, rods and everywhere else. The oil pressure sensor doesn't do a very good job. When the light comes on. It's too late.
