[QUOTE="paintless302, post: 15586341, member: 74264"] Stopped by to check on the sneaky beast. Motor is back in completely assembled, car was test driven, and all is well. No more valvetrain noise. [ATTACH=full]708797[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]708798[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]708799[/ATTACH] While the car was at VE I figured they could address a few more things, one of which being another warranty repair.
