Connecting rod cap broke in 2 pieces

Just got the oil pan off. Anyone seen this and if so what situations have you experienced it in. Customer says he was just driving from a stop light. Then it seized up.

Is this a factory motor or is it a reman?

How do the other rod bearings look? Is there any sign of detonation due to poor timing from a bad tune?

Bone stock truck. It's sitting on 40" toyo mt s. Un sure or both reman engine and other bearings. It's almost like it shattered.

Looks like a rod bolt failure. Buy the way the bolts are broke.

Jasper is junk IMO

Yea, and had to pull it because of terrible vibration issues, that's after jasper made us replace motor mounts, check the flex plate etc etc. The second one still vibrated but not as bad. That being said I've put in a bunch of jasper gas motors with no problems.

Did jasper pay you for your time? That the BIG selling point he keeps throwing at me.

it's a pain in the ass getting money out of them...

and, doesn't that sound like a "plan for failure" to you?

I wouldn't buy something that the main selling point is "if there's a problem, we'll pay you for your labor"

if somebody is in a rush to get their 6.4 back on the road, we just put a brand new Ford unit in and roll out. They're not cheap, but they're not that expensive in the grand scheme of things for the quality and the speed at which you get them

Do not roll with Jasper. They can't produce a diesel for ****.

And I also asked if this was a reman since I have seen several Ford remans pop at the caps.

jdeeg4276 · Mar 2, 2014

any good sources for a reman?

drunk on diesel · Mar 2, 2014

an enhanced shortblock from Ford is mid 5's wholesale... comes with front and rear covers, new cam, lifters, oil cooler, head gaskets, etc.

they also have a very friendly core policy, so if you've got one that's grenaded and essentially a total loss, it's that much better going with Ford IMO

YMMV

jdeeg4276 · Mar 2, 2014

I don't have time for a short block. I would like a long block with almost everything . Any ideas?

a good used pull-out or a fresh Ford unit would be the only way I'd go there... The only way I'd consider a Jasper or equivalent quality "budget" reman would be to trade in a truck or run it through auction

DEEZUZ · Mar 2, 2014

Reviva, junk, Jasper, junk, Ford reman, junk..

Like said, those three are just for trade offs. The only way to go is have a builder build one. I thought there was a vendor selling long blocks
