This was supposedly a less than 5k mile motor, so we had to pay 200 more after the exchange of the other one.That would be copper. The other 3 bearings are even worse.

I guess the sludgy oil didnt help that either. This one was 1400+ gas for a 10hr round trip.(so far 
) The first one was supposed to have 20k and the cylinder was messed up, now this. I guess they just cleaned this one up pretty good. I'm going to call them tomorrow, and probably email them some pictures if they don't believe me. Guess i'll find out then.

They said now that they couldnt fire it up, so they didnt know how many miles are on it.
They have an 05 w/ 48k on it, and they're going to swap us. Besides taking the valve covers off, and pulling a plug, there really isn't anything else to check before we go?! Wish me luck on this one, maybe 3rd time's a charm.
