That is good information. Thank you. We got it mostly apart last weekend. The bearings look good as well as head gaskets. I just need to remove the timing components and water pump. Then it is reassembly time. I was planning on replacing both the primary and secondary timing chains while...- Deuce5150

New Engine?
This weekend is the time I'm really going to get into it. Regarding the turbos - Is it likely they are damaged? I'd like to avoid digging them out of there if I can. I had the coolant/oil mix in the front turbo supply line. I haven't gotten to the rear yet. I'm just wondering if I can get...- Deuce5150

I will. Luckily, my wife is currently on maternity leave, so we can get away with one car while this gets done. Yay fire breathing minivan.- Deuce5150

This appears to be the correct assumption. After talking back and forth with them, I couldn't even get an estimate. He insisted that it was all ruined and "I don't know why you would want to throw money at it when it's ruined" Meanwhile, he never to took the time to actually look to see if it...- Deuce5150

That is good news. Can I do a timing chain/water pump and inspect turbos with dropping it as well?- Deuce5150

New Engine?
I think trying to save the current engine will be my course of action. From the time I notice the rough idle to the time I shut it off for good I probably drove for less than two miles and at low rpms. I have just over 113,000 miles on it now. I'm hoping that a water pump, timing chain and...- Deuce5150

The scenario leading up to this diagnosis is as follows: Driving and noticed a rough idle when stopped in and in drive. The temp light came on and I pulled over to shut it off. I checked and the coolant was empty. I walked to a store and bought a jug of pre-mixed coolant and filled it back...- Deuce5150

Hello, I was informed today by the mechanic that the water pump failed on my 2011 SHO. He said he could replace it and the timing chain, but that it would be a band aid fix as the motor would and turbos likely fail in the future due to coolant getting in there. He recommended a new engine...- Deuce5150
