And to you. [By the way, I figure no more than ~1,100 left (wrecks and such).]

Default Yup, but it borke it's T belt.

Meaning the sodium filled valves broke open, leaking the sodium material on the pistons and clyinder walls, then combined with the moisture in the atmoshpere, etching the cylinder walls and pistons.

Then just tore the motor down and the 2 "bent" rods bent only the tinest bit, but enough to be garbage. So a good rod has been sent out to Pauter Machine in Califonia to be X-rayed to confirm it is straigh, then replicate in forged, lightweight form, which will make, possibly, the first built RS6 motor, ever? If all that dosen't work out, then they just got another RS6, normal, plain sedan, only a light front end collision, buthte motor is OK. They plan to keep it straight, and repair it, but if the Pauiter rods do not work out, they have to break apart the sedan.
