I can't tell you how to measure risk or spend money, but if your SA is familiar with replacements of the normal one then it may not hurt to explore what the labor charges would be to drop it out and visually inspect and remove any doubt before the CPO expires. IIRC, others have paid around $2200 but I'm sure there's tons of variance there. But maybe it's possible to scope as a preliminary measure? May not be a bad option to explore either. Would be curious to know what they respond with.

Worst case, you wasted $2200~ and know that after all that track time that everything is tip top and there's nothing to worry about going forward, which isn't a bad price tag to rest easy.



The bolded part is the point of concern, we know there was a change at some point mid-cycle update to switch to DLC cams but not sure when. Up until then the MA176 was no different than the factory 2016 MA175 (G0) and people have still killed those (although a little more difficult).

Just go back to post #49 on this thread, no different than what the .1 GT3 guys (including myself) had. Non-DLC cams and scoring all over.

I had some camshaft sensors fail and every time it happened my stomach hurt because I was afraid that the engine needed being replaced.

So far have not seen or heard of good coverage for .1 3RS, unless you're willing to risk an insurer living up to their word on a system glitch allowing a single MY 3RS to squeeze through unintentionally in this case... look at the last post on page 10 and see if that assuages worries
