[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 4089821, member: 3099"] Mine doesn't need it yet, knocks on wood....But why are they saying long block? These will easily last 300k miles if maintained. Have they actually diagnosed it? The cam phasers are quite oil pressure dependent and a long block is the easy button on that, but there are delete kits for them that can be done while doing the timing set. Have they ran oil pressure and compression tests or are they just trying to fix it with a new engine? Here's a protip for you for when it's fixed. Run 10W30 oil in it. Full synthetic and good quality. That goes a long ways towards preventing these problems. These engines are spec'd at 5W20 oil here in the U.S. but in Australia they spec 10W30 for the same exact engine. I run 10W30 Amsoil in mine. No issues yet at 128k miles. Phasers are quiet and well behaved. [/QUOTE]
