Great that everything is working correctly again. Using a 'scope has great benefit in tracking down noise, glad the tech knew how to use it. Most techs are remove/replace, not the troubleshooting kind. Glad some good ones are still around.

THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE HARNESS RUBBING AGAINST THE BACK OF THE HEAD ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE.
CHECK YOUR HARNESS IN THE AREA WHERE THE IGNITION HARNESS ENTERS THE COIL COVER ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE ENGINE.
IF THE RUB IS NOT BAD, YOU CAN JUST WRAP THE HARNESS WITH BLACK TAPE.
IF IT IS VERY BAD, THEN YOU NEED TO GET A REPLACEMENT HARNESS OR FIX THE INDIVIDUAL WIRES AND ADD LOOM TO COVER THE AREA.
TELL THIS TO THE DEALER INSPECTING YOUR VEHICLE.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of rice,
I will fear no turbo for displacement is with me.
I was aware of this issue as I am a MARAUDER OG...when I received a new motor at 49,600 miles...the harness rubbing issue + a LOT of other known by then issues (head cooling mod, motor frame placement points, etc) were addressed...BTW...the Twin Screw went on at 58,500 miles...and NOW she has 96,400 miles...and THANKFULLY running GREAT!!! *again!
