Oil Pressure Valve was not tightened on car, and engine blew, What needs to be repaired?

I AM PRETTY SURE IT WAS THE PRESSURE OR SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT. The people who are responsible for this are going to ask for the bare minimum to be repaired, which would be a new engine, or hell maybe even a new engine. What else should be repaired/replaced?


I want to take it safe. I am not paying the bill. I AM GRATEFUL FOR ANY ADVICE. THANKSOil Pressure Valve was not tightened on car, and engine blew, What needs to be repaired?
If your not paying the bill and the shop that did the work is have them stick a brand new engine in the car not a rebuilt or a used because you never know how it was treated before. They have insurance that covers their **** ups so I would demand a new engine.Oil Pressure Valve was not tightened on car, and engine blew, What needs to be repaired?
If the engine is blown, it needs replaced. Running metal on metal at 3000 times a minute without lubrication is going to destroy everything inside in short order. If the engine was stopped immediately after the valve blew out, it may be possible to rebuild it. If this was the shops fault, and you aren't paying for the repair, tell them they need to replace the engine. You will most likely get an engine from a wrecked car, so make sure you hound them for all the details, (mileage, etc.) and make them put a warranty (in writing) on the replacement motor.
An oil related failure on an engine will affect every rotating component. i would have it completely disassembled and all parts measured and inspected. if you do not then you may be OK for a year, then the engine will fail and they will not pay for it again. If they will only do the bare minimum, make sure that all oil lines and the radiator which probably has an oil cooler is replaced. Small metal pieces in the oil travel through the system and they will be caught until the engine gets to full temp and then they will start to circulate through the system causing the same failure again. Don't let them tell you they flushed it, it's ';OK';. That's a lie. Try to have the work done at your mechanics and have them reimburse you for the cost. That gives the garage a fiduciary responsibility to you. In other words your paying the bill so they have to make you happy!! Good luck!!
A engine of equal value.If your engine has 100k then your gonna get one in that millage area.Be thank full that the garage ain't giving you a hard time about it,a lot of places would.
