Whether it's oil consumption, vanos issues, rod bearings, or valve seals.....there always seems to be what I would consider a significant flaw. The good thing for OP is that this repair is covered.
AFAIK n63tu is free of such flaws finally. Still early to tell tho, but at least it was 4 years almost and so far so good
