88 XJ 115K miles auto 4.0
So i take my beast in to have rear main seal and oil pan gasket replaced. I was leaking bad and don't have enough experience. tools, or downtime to fool with it. Anyway.....get it back from the shop after they recommend replacing the oil pump, harmonic balancer and front crank seal. which i allowed them to do. I drive 5 miles to and from work twice. Off for 2 days and back to work on saturday. No problems on those 4 days before. Just real short trips so i don't notice any problems. Well Saturday morning driving down the interstate at 70 Mph everything is good for like 15-20 minutes then i start to lose oil pressure and notice the rpms jump up and the Mph drop. Drive another 1.5 miles at slower speeds and stop. Have the shop that did the work tow it back seeing how it was under a 90 day labor one year parts warranty.
Shop calls today and says we need to have you come down to the shop. I go down there and he starts the jeep up and automatically i hear a not so good sound. He tells me it sounds like an internal motor problem(ie. scarred bearring or bad rod). So i say okay what are you telling me? He wants a rep from the oil pump manufacturer to come down so he can show them what he feels is the problem and see what they will cover in terms of repair work outside of replacing the oil pump and seals.
I am waiting on the rep to come down but i would like to have some input as to what recourse i have if they fail to fix the problem or if the new oil pump with fix/hide the noise or if the bearing is scarred etc etc etc.
