I think they just had absolutely no clue what they were doing. They put the wrong exhaust cam in the head and there were so many bolts that were wrong/missing/crossthreaded. Came in as a no start.

CR-V, 2019 I believe.

Tech found a piece of plastic blocking an oil passage that feeds 3-4. Been happening with the 1.5s, apparently there’s now a bulletin reminding techs not to open oil filters by sticking a finger in...

Zero heat. We squared off the flats with an air hammer chisel, then drove a smaller socket on and let the impact eat. Came right off and cleaned the threads

If you don’t see it immediatly, they helicoiled the balancer bolt threads. Which isn’t too bad of a thing in and of itself, helicoils will make the threads stronger than they were... if you install them right. But the genius building this motor fucked up the helicoil and skipped a thread.

Now sure you could just yank out the helicoil, and oversize the new one, but nobody here wants to so that and my boss made the call to just have them replace it. Unfortunately the new one doesn’t have an oil pan so we’re going to have to order a new one and have Jasper reimburse us.

Oh and for background it’s a 351 Windsor for a 1982 Ford F-150 getting a motor swap.
