[QUOTE="scpete24, post: 1855578, member: 62125"] Thought you guys might enjoy some quality dealership workmanship on my truck and a story. Took my truck in for the cam phaser repair (67K miles) and was going to replace my cracked valve cover, water pump, and put in a new T-stat while they had it torn apart. Take it in, job goes "well" they tell me my truck is done a day after I dropped it off. Picked it up and drove it home, didn't notice anything the first couple days while it sat in my driveway. Decide to take it to work one day and start her up and hear this loud knocking sound coming from the engine bay exactly like the video posted here [URL]https://www.fordraptorforum.com/threads/cam-phaser-aftermath.95135/[/URL] and below if it doesn't upload Decide to take it to another dealership a bit further from me. They could not recreate the noise and was running fine, but agreed to look into it. They didn't get to it for a couple weeks but when they did holy shit. Started out with the first call - we found metal shavings in your oil. Tell them to tear into it more and get the other dealership involved to see what happened because it sure as hell didn't have metal in the oil before the cam phaser job. Few back and forth phone calls and then they call me back after tearing into it more and send me some photos. The tech had not torqued the driver side timing chain bolts down and the spacer was in my oil pan with the bolt nowhere to be found. At this point, I'm looking at a small block at a minimum. Get the first dealership to approve further tear down and removing cam caps, they find scoring on the cams and more metal meaning I'm in need a full new long block motor. After multiple phone calls the original dealership agrees it's in need of a long block and says they wont pay the other dealership to install and that if I wanted it I have to bring it back to them to complete the engine swap. I'm beyond pissed at this point but will spare the details of phone calls and ultimately agree I dont want to take legal action and let them pick up my truck and tow it back to them. Now, I'm getting a brand new long block motor installed and hope to get it back next week. Good news is I'm getting a new motor and all paid for by dealer that did the cam phaser repairs...
