after fixing the oil feeding issue, timing was still off, they replaced the cam phaser/sprocket, problem solved...
That doesn't make sense to me physically. I've heard of belt shreds working through the main seal, but they would be very small and wouldn't be stopped until they hit the oil filter right? The oil pickup tube is relatively large. Anyways, I really hope they aren't d*cking you around.
