Long story short…
before I started, my company had hired someone who was in mechanic school and was supposed to be out full time mechanic. He began working on replacing the cam and lifters in a 2014 ram 1500 we have and we ended up having to let him go 4 weeks into the attempted lifter job… yes 4 weeks into the lifter job.. we let him go for somewhat unrelated reasons, however now I am left with this mess.
I do not think that he replaced the cam or lifters yet because there is a box of lifters in my shop however I do not have anybody able to pick up where he left off nor do I want to get stuck paying a mechanic to figure it out…
I figure he was not exactly careful in removing the engine either as I noticed one of the transmission cooler hard lines (the ones that run right underneath the oil filter) is ripped- like he forgot to unhook it and just bent it back and forth until it broke
