I think the tech would be referring to casting flaws or off center line boring of cam journals etc. Not just over torqued.I would ask how they determined that it's the cylinder head and that the factory, "over tightened" it.
Yep. The explanation given sounds fishy to me. I hate playing Internet mechanic but I highly suspect that the OP has been sold a story.I think the tech would be referring to casting flaws or off center line boring of cam journals etc. Not just over torqued.
All of which are low on my list of possibilities.
What's good for him is they're committed to the repair now. Hate to say but it's likely from the "adjustments". Sounds like a heavy bottom end noise but I could just as easily be wrong. I guess we're gonna find out as long as the op keeps us in the loop.Yep. The explanation given sounds fishy to me.

I suspect most engines are pretty sensitive if you run them without oil. Sorry that happened. Hopefully you come out alright on the other end.UPDATE - 1/24/20 - Dealer has concluded “Failure of cylinder head due to lack of oil” as to the cause of this noise.
This news is very upsetting to me being that this dealer was the only one to service my car and i simply went in for a routine oil change/filter and left with a engine starved for oil. How this occurred is still unclear. I was given the general “these engines are very sensitive, anything could’ve caused this...etc.” Best bit of news from this, estimated arrival for a new cylinder head? MARCH 2nd, 2020!
I’m at a loss of words truly.
