What happened to our engine?

Well I received a call that our engine was back together and has a good test drive. Another test drive is going to be done to insure there are no loose ends. We expect to be able to pickup the coach on Monday 7/2. Waiting for a call back about the next test drive.
Ok what went wrong? One valve seat dropped and that took out the after treatment, DPF - Diesel Particulate Filter, both turbos, cracked atleast 1 cylinder sleeve and other stuff. I was told that the EGR cooler was replaced, all cylinder sleeves and a lot of other items with updated parts. Apparently there were several parts in the initial build that they found did not uphold well, I don't have the specifics, and those parts were repllaced with new improved parts.
That's all I know now.

Wow, thanks for posting. Yes there were/are some of the complaints are the big truck engines. Stop all international engines must be bad. It seems that the early EPA 10 engines, Cummins too, which we have had problems based on the Tech's in talked to.
