Uhh...no kidding! Can anyone give me some info to help prove to the dealer that his people made a huge mistake, whether it's reading a simple dipstick or just plain stupidity. This is black and white, cut and dry, we know what they did because they told us. I just would like some info regarding what happens when you completely overfill a high compression diesel motor with oil, start it up then force it after it locks up. I would really appreciate some news. Thanks everyone!
Bent rods for sure,possible broken piston ring lands and rings,bent crank. They should be buying you a new short block. GET A LAWYER! With labor it sounds like the claim is to big for small claims court. TOTAL INCOMPETENCE to over fill and then start an engine.
