What are my options after a rod bearing failure

[Mikey]

How many miles since the rebuild?

less than 400.

[Mark1107]

Damn. Cursed vehicle.

[Mikey]

Any idea what actually happened?

No clue, it lost all pressure immediately

[ACRSNK]

O no!!!!!!

[Viper.954]

What does the dipstick tell you? Is it still full of oil?

No clue, was on the side of the highway so only got out once the tow came

[Space Truckin]

Ugh...

I'm sure they drained the oil after the dyno session and emptied it for shipping to be refilled when put in the vehicle I can't imagine it burning enough oil in 400 miles to be so low as to cause that BUT, if so, that's terrible. Hopefully they make it right.

I'm pretty sure something happened during install, lots of small red flags. I'm hoping for the best, but I have a feeling this will nit be resolved in a smooth manner

My oil pressure has been on the higher side, so I really don't think oil consumption was the issue



Edit: motor needs to come out. I'm going to have the installer and builder discuss how we're going to proceed and go from there. I'm getting a quote from Calvo as well, just in case

[ViperGeorge]

If the dipstick indicates full or nearly full I would suspect the oil sender. They fail on a regular basis and are a known problem on Dodge/Jeep/etc. I think the next most likely issue would be a failed oil pump.

Holy friggin' crap - really sorry to hear about this. Maybe this car is cursed. Hopefully this gets resolved - they should have insurance to cover errors on their part, and I believe the work that they do has a warranty.

[TIME]

Driving on the toll road, hear a slight flutter, I go into 6th and it goes away. Slowly after, I hear a rattle and then the "no oil" light comes on.

Sorry to hear that, Mike. Fcuk!

[BSLSK]

My condolences... May be time for a gen 5 hellcat swap.

[Snakebit10]

Good grief. I feel for you Mickey. Lets hope these "stand up guys" stand by their work. You did all you could with this car with all its issues. You deserve a break from all the issues you have dealt with this car. All the best as you got through this new nightmare.

If the oil pressure just went sky high & was steady; hopefully its just the sending unit. They're known to fail (across all FCA platforms it's used on) & is a relatively quick n easy fix.

given he said the engine started rattling just before the pressure went to 0 I don't think I'd hold my breath for the quick & easy fix

I missed that... sadly.

Sux!!!! I was looking forward to seeing it this Saturday too.. those guys discussing it better make it right.. you shouldn’t be outta pocket at all from here on out..

[Mikey]

So Kevin said he'll take care of it if it was a part failure, but we still need to pull the motor, which is 4k for pull and install....

Who is paying the $4K for pull and install?

I'm going to assume me, if it was somehow my error, I'm all for it, but if not, I don't think I should be on the hook

You should pay nothing if it’s not your fault.. period.. but at minimum split the cost.. but I’d push for zero out of pocket.. my $.02

My feelings exactly, Antonio is going to call me in a bit. We'll see what this would run at Calvo

The oil cooler may have not been replaced...

The oil cooler/lines are after the filter. Oil flowing through it is filtered, unless the filter bypass is open.
