Yeah, Fozzy has had a bad year. Head gaskets went last year and garage made an absolute mess of it. Took months to sort it and did a shoddy job.
They had it back twice to sort issues.
Less than 200 miles later it starts burning oil, this rapidly gets worse, to the point it's making clouds of blue smoke around 1000 miles after the HG work.
The engine is now with a top builder for remedial work and I hope a report that allows me to claim some money back from the first lot.
For example, they broken one of the vvt solenoids and cable tied it in place, they stripped fasteners and just glued them in place to look the part, it leaked oil and they didn't replace or supply some parts that they claimed to.
I paid the first bill on my credit card, so I'm hoping section 75 will let me reclaim some cash.
So, engine strip down ( Suabru EJ 255, 2.5 turbo) has revealed scores on the crankshaft. Looks like I'll be adding a new crank to the build!
