I open engine cover due to valvetronic motor has fault. we found that intake camshaft needs replacement, however oil filter is clean w/o any metal particles. that's why I want to know condition of rod bearings.
Not that I’m the guy to ask, but I feel like I’d want to tear the engine all the way down in this case.
