Well looks like I can’t catch a break in life and my streak of bad luck continues. Just dumped money into this vehicle going stage 2 and not even 2 months later this happens. Oil pressure lite came on , pulled over immediately and say the catastrophe. Oil everywhere on the ground with metal parts. And to add salt to the wound while the vehicle was on the side of the road waiting for a tow overnight someone smashed my back and I die and stole a ratchet set. Not really sure what my options are at this point but this is really unfortunate given the amount of money I just dumped into this thing. Any help is greatly appreciated.Well looks like I can’t catch a break in life and my streak of bad luck continues.

So sorry to hear about this. Definitely let us know how it turns out and what might have went wrong.

I've seen the options debated many times on the facebook group and it seems like sourcing a replacement engine is the best way to go for an M57 rather than rebuilding yours. Good luck!
