I can't stop thinking that this has to do with the Oil Pressure Relief Valve (I am going to call it the so I don't have to type it anymore PRV). Since the titanium (at least the mechanic who sold me the new said it was titanium) PRV "piston" was scarred (looked like the one in Anders photo), wouldn't that mean that the aluminum timing cover (the PRV "cylinder") would also be scarred? So replacing the piston would have no impact since the cylinder walls are also scarred? If this is the case, seems to me the only solution would be to replace the timing cover. Can anyone think of any alternative solutions? Any way to test this theory? Finally, if it is the timing cover, is it worth trying to do in car or is it a pull the motor type job?
