As promised, here are the pics of the problem that the seller's dealership found upon removing the camshaft bearing housing to replace brittle cam-seals.

Maybe I missed it but why did you buy the car when you were aware of such a serious present engine issue?

In retrospect, maybe I should have steered clear, but it was fixed under warranty and it still had 6 mos left on the warranty in case anything happened after the repairs.

^dude
you just got the car. ide spend my weekend detailing the crap out of it. you have a warranty all is good. now go and polish the inside of the wheel barrel, and the brake calipers like most of us first time owners did

if your warranty is for another 6 months I would drive it as much as possible to flush out any problems with the dealership

nice color hope all works out well at the dealership.. good luck with your new toy

Amazing ride. Drive it in good health God Bless it.

Beautiful car, congratulations!
