A customer nearly got conned last week :( We see it quite often, scumbags.
I saw a pic recently, where this had been done and he got a plastic bottle to fit to the filler hole of the header tank, filled it with water and the oil rose to the top of plastic bottle above the tank.
I'll look up the price of the completed job as we finished it yesterday. Timing chain, tensioner and both camshaft gears and chain rails. The gear hadn't failed internally but showed damage from the chain. The oil and filter was also changed due to metal contamination from the chain. We used...
That sounds possibly more than a chain, a chain or even the gears Chain and gear rattles normally disappear when the oil pressure builds up, also not sure if I heard an uneven turnover??? Poss low compression on a cyl. I wouldn't drive that, not even from yard to workshop.
Thought it was cheap, no gears and they are the most expensive part of the job. It could be just the chain or both, the gears can fail internally and produce a clatter on start up, they also trip an eml for cam timing.
That's sound cheap especially if using genuine parts, I can check price of gears and chain for you. I'm surprised they can do it so soon, must have no work?
It's not smoking, it's oil mist which is normal. There's an O ring on the dipstick to stop it venting past and It's not meant to be run with the dipstick out.
Unfortunately it looks like you have wasted your time and money changing the engine and other parts, I looked at one of our loan cars with a 651 engine, and it does exactly the same. I'll try and attach video.
Sorry can't upload vid. :(
