unless you plan on spending what the trucks worth i would find a used low mileage engine with a warranty from a junk yard and throw it in if the engine is for sure blown.

Ask the shop who puts it in, see how they deal with core or block.

Got a diagnosis from dealer cam and lifters are in great shape issue is positively bottom end realy hoping it was just a catastrophic failure of the oil pump going to take off the oil pan check some bearings and pull the front cover and check the pump

 

[Bam930878]

Has anyone ever had their oil pump fail like this before loss of oil pressure metal in oil or do you think im being to optimistic hoping its just the pump

did the dealer pop the oil control valve? That is usually what they gauge if metal is throughout your engine.

No i had them stop before they went to far bill at dealer adds up to fast they said can and lifters look fine used bore scope to look poped valve cover nothing there just a little glitter in oil pan and low to no oil pressure there was also a pending cylinder 2 missfire im going to pull the pan front cover and valve cover and do more digging myself

 

[Bam930878]

Fingers crossed its in need of complete motor but if it is unfortunately prepared for the worst but trying to remain optimistic that its just some parts

Pull the intake manifold first,and check the VVT solenoids screen over for metal.

Update oil changed runs great firm belief that valvoline restore and protect cleaned engine to well plugged up filter or pick up tube causing pressure loss only issue is now cylinder 2 is tapping hoping a good engine flush thinking some sludge varnish is preventing lifter from fully pumping up the dealer did not instill any confidence with what they stated i believe they were just after my money

 

[EdGs]

Tapping usually not good, question is, what is tapping?

Metal in oil not good, had to come from somewhere.

Did the dealer inspect every cam lobe? There's 16 of them to check. As others have said, the oil control valve is the place to look.

Does the tapping go away or lessen when the engine warms up? If so, possibly broken exhaust manifold bolts.

I hope your issue is resolved. The glitter in the oil is what would worry me. Broken exhaust manifold bolts would not have anything to do with that.

It just continues noisy lifters fairly certain dealer put in wrong oil way to thin changed it again myself runs like a top now i was never shown any proof of metal in the oil or any other “damage” just went off their word i got lucky this time and the dealer tried to take advantage of my misfortune some dealers i swear are just out to get your money whats the world coming to

Problem is...... as you started thread saying you lost oil pressure & had metal shavings.
Was this not true???
Putting different oil in engine will not solve above.

 

[Bam930878]

At this point not sure if there was even metal in the oil nor do i have the filter or oil they changed but i do know that since i changed the oil it runs fine no noise at all and the oil i had drained ha nothing in it either it was very thin though making me think they put wrong oil in it i changed the oil with mobile 1 5w30 and a quart of atf to clean it out and its quiet and as happy as can be i will change it again in a few days

We used to pour in a can of Seafoam Motor Treatment into the oil fill and drive it for a good few hundred KM's.

Ensuring you got it to operating temps and then also fleeced it a few times as well.

Then dump and do an oil & filter change with less expensive oil & filter for another few hundred KM's...

Then dump and put in the good stuff! Seafoam is no joke and works very well.

Heck, to clean the intake and upper chambers, we used to pull the vacuum hose off the brake booster, someone held about 2000rpm in the vehicle while another siphoned (allowed the air to cavitate on the top of the liquid, whilst drawing from the open can of Seafoam... not submerging the hose in the can fully) until the can was empty...

Shut off the engine and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes (obviously reinstalling the brake booster hose...lol) and then firing it up and driving good and spiritedly until there was no more smoke.

This was magic... and then also dumped a full can in the gas tank as well to clean the fuel system. The good ole' days

EDIT - however, after all this Seafoam treatment.... we would then proceed to replace the spark plugs and clean the throttle body & PCV valve afterward as things got pretty gummy after a thorough Seafoam treatment process

Burned up the rod & main bearing in a newly remanded Ford 302 by replacing one qt of oil 5w30 out of 6 qts with ATF then driving it a few days, drive speeds never were faster than 60 mph

I highly doubt the ATF burned up a rod and main bearing,that was probably more because they didn't have the proper clearance.If it was due to the ATF they would of all went south,not just 1 of each

I guess I was not fully clear with my post, I burned up all 8 rod & all main bearings, the company that build the engine sent them all back to my installer after they tore it down an inspected the engine, dont recall if they said any thing about cam bearings, I was lucky I got a replacement engine before them getting that one back...
