Took to dealership because I noticed a ticking noise in the engine once it warmed up and worse accelerating. They found rod bearing on cylinder number 1 had excessive wear making the noise as a tapping sound similar to a lifter noise. They said, "Sounds like one cylinder is the problem." and they found cylinder number one rod bearing scored and scratched badly with pieces coming out of it. They inspected crankshaft, slight bearing material stuck to crankshaft, using emery cloth, they cleaned crank surface and installed new cylinder one rod bearing and torqued all rod caps.
That is the short story because they took 9 days to get it back to me and replaced this parts: 12 -valve tappet, 2 - cylinder head gaskets (left and right side), 6 - intake manifold seal, 1 - intake manifold gasket, 2 - cylinder head cover gasket, 1 - EGR tube seal, 1 - EGR tube flange gasket, 6 qts - 5w20 oil, engine oil filter & 1 -connecting rod bearing.
