perdixer, i had this happen last summer. the dealership replaced the throttle body. the part was covered under the emmissions warranty which is up to 70,000 miles. I had to pay labor only.

Thanks for the info!
I'll try to swing it with my dealer / Customer relations (there's 70,130 miles on my clock).

Emissions warranty in the US is 8 years 80k mile. Ours doesnt cover throttle body LOL.
Good luck with it.

I was looking hard at the first picture of the head, it looks like the oil passage to the first cam bearing was never bored! If this is true, the car went a long way with no lube to the first cam bearing. You can see where the second one is bored into the oil passage.
