Why on earth would they do something like that?! If this is what happened prior to the development of this noise, then chances are it has run the bug end bearings, and possible even trashed the crank-shaft! If that is the case, very sorry to be the bearer of bad news! I would make it a priority to have the engine inspected and until then, avoid driving it and causing further damage.

Yep have a appointment next week and hopefully they take blame for it

GrizzyGroff · 05-03-2016, 07:50 PM

Didn't make this noise before I took it to them, been driving it like this for at 1,500 miles

Any news on the out come... Good or Bad?

GrizzyGroff · 05-13-2016, 06:44 PM

took the car to the shop, haven't gotten it on the lift yet. but he said its most likely the rod bearing. said i might have caught it just in time to save it. going to try and get the shop to cover and if not my warranty covers rod and bearings

It's in the original post but long story short a inspector came out to look at my car and my warranty decided to just replace the motor instead
