It's interesting how dirty the engines of modern diesels are due to the emissions equipment.
That tear down doesn't reflect anything negative about the engine. Very well thought-out.
It was ran out of oil, the oil drivin timing chain tensioner lost tension, valves out of timing, piston came in contact with the valves. Actually quite fkn amazing that the head and block survived.
200,000 miles on a belt change is nothing, nor is moving the transmission back. I bet guys will be drinking beer, doing the job from home for less than a grand in parts, many years from now.
Geezus christ, there sure are some caddy btches trying to sht on this wonderful 3 liter.
