That's what I get for not keeping up. Seems a thrust washer bearing was and is a known problem and has caused many catastrophic failures. Some question as to whether its been corrected for 13 motors.

There is still some discussion on whether the block can be rebuilt as well there are new techs out there that have repaired them but safe to say its not common-translate cheap. One guy quoted 3400-4300 for a new block. Ouch
