AFM Failure engine bad 92k miles

[bg1988]

 Well my engine ran low on oil thanks to a chain shop 

 Not a standard failure

 

they Failed to secure  my oil filter and plug 

 

it sounded just like this ...  the chain shop was sending there insurance adjuster..

 

 I know the VVT system is sensitive to oil loss(and cleanliness ) compared to the normal push rod setup..... I spend a lot of money buying this and maintenance costs only for someone else to screw up my engine

 

 it sucks   I was paying a lot of money to have the oil changes done every 4k miles  on this Non oil burner (i still have not lost any oil since )

 

it was pretty cold last night 27f here in  the desert  this is what my start up sounds like earlier today...

 

 

 

 it leaked out in a short time frame of 164miles   it's not like it would have mattered if I checked it every 1k miles(but i do anyways)

 

 If i had a DirtyMAX  Hoe that sound would be fine!

The cummins is so wimpy sounding.  Bah.  Sorry you got screwed like that though.

unfortunately the damage is worse then first thought  

ROD knock  I can hear a faint rod knock  on  Bank 1(AFM side   since it would have been mostly running in V4 mode most of the drive)

cylinder  #3 or #5 on cold starting ..  I'll use another camera with a better microphone to pick it out..

Did you contact the people that did the oil change and ask that they make it right?

Sorry man.

Unforunately you're not the only one in this situation.

Fast lube shops = fast turn around, inexperianced employees and improper supervision.

And crappy cheapy filters that are in bypass by 3000 miles

Sorry to hear this but you know that old saying the “you get what you paid for” saying, still stands firm. Hope you get everything figured out, good luck!
