In the latest saga of reported Demon 170 engine failures, it seems the teardown of one has revealed that the factory neglected to install one of the lower main bearing shells resulting in a mysterious oil leak...but, that never actually happened.
Other failures of these engines may be completely legit, but this one is an obvious hoax. Here's all of the reasons that this accidental bearing deletion story and diagnosis could not have possibly happened. ‪@TKsGarage‬ ‪@ButterDaInsider‬

I used to work in a case ih assembly plant building the big Patriot sprayers. The engines were supposed to be filled with oil in the subassembly area before they were ever installed on the machine. Before they were started for the first time the oil was supposed to be checked. Well in my 6+ years there the stars aligned 3 different times where the engine area forgot to fill it with oil and the operator who started it neglected to check it first. Engines without oil will start right up and run just fine……..for about 90 seconds, and then they make the worst sound you ever heard before checking out. You’re exactly right Tony, that thing wouldn’t not have made it for more than a couple minutes just due to oil starvation.

I left a comment basically saying this on Butters channel. Someone said that the rear main pin doesn’t oil the #7/8 crank pin in the Demon engine. I have no idea if that’s true, it doesn’t make any sense, but that would explain how it ran for that long. I’m still on the “it’s BS” train.

I remember, as a youth, looking at the old 10 inch thick Motor repair manual (think Chilton for every US make - but written for pros) and seeing the oiling diagrams with black and white arrows going here, there, and everywhere. Same thing in the big AMC / Jeep factory service manual. And I never really understood it until watching UTG just now. I had forgotten it and moved on to other things. But now at least I finally get it. So glad we live in a world where it's so easy to learn stuff. At least they haven't figured out how to take that from us yet - but I feel like it's coming.

I like modern Mopars and over all they feel really solidly built but they need to get their QC process together.

My brother works as a service manager at a Dodge dealership and I asked him to see what he could find out and he was able to find an open warranty claim on a Deamon 170 that was found to be missing the lower half of the #1 main bearing. I’m not sure if this is a 2nd one or the same and some details were incorrect. The car came in with 217 miles for low oil pressure and leaking oil pan gasket. While replacing the gasket shavings were found this dealer was told to first inspect the crankshaft and second locate the source of shavings, which is reasonable because if the crank is shot, it doesn’t really matter where they came from. It’s an engine replacement anyway the number one bearing cap was found not to have a bearing, it is unclear if the bearing was not installed or if the shavings is what was left of it. My brother said that potentially it could be possible that it was not installed because he thinks number one and two rods are fed from the number two main so with the oil sump there there could be enough splash lubrication for just that one main, I asked him how would any oil make it to the top? If all the pressure was going out around the number one main he said the only thing he could think of would be the supercharger drive was applying enough force to the front of the crank To keep it stable enough the oil couldn’t come out faster than the pump could pump it like I said this is mostly speculation. The only thing I can say is fact is there is a demon 170 that has either chewed up and spit out a number one bearing or was assembled without it. The only reason I say assembled without it is even possible is there was no trace of that half under the cap

Of course, when confronted with the footage plant management always insisted that they had implemented new procedures to ensure that the workers were not baked on the job. I absolutely hate to see American manufacturing jobs disappear from our country but when you see what some manufacturers are up against it makes you wonder if you would do anything differently if you were in their shoes.

My '93 Jeep ZJ 5.2 went 170,000 original miles with half of a main thrust bearing (block side) that never made surface contact with the crank. After many years it did wipe out the crank in the thrust area to the point that the crank counterweights were hitting the block (reason for pulling the engine). The crank had about 1/2" end play. I have not checked line bore to see what caused the issue, but weird stuff can and has happened from the factory. Mine did have lower than average oil pressure on the gauge for a Mopar, but nothing alarming. I still have the block.

Glad you made a video about this, I just don't have the time. The first thing I thought when I saw it was how did it make enough oil pressure during the test run at the plant to end up in a vehicle. More likely, a tuner of some kind raised the RPM cut off and bearings spun at higher speed than the engine is designed for.

Forget about the oil starvation issue for a second. The main thrust bearing was obviously in place. Tell me how missing a main bearing would have any effect on oil getting past the rear main seal? Absolutely no chance unless the seal was damaged in some way or the sealing surface had a nick, which damaged the sealing lip of the seal.

Hey Tony. Remember on the old Fueler and Top Alcohol Hemis how the rear main would tighten up after 2 or 3 runs and you'd have to throw in a new bullet? That was at the 1500 hp mark for a purpose built BAE or KB Hemi. Crank deflection at the flywheel would cause it. Imagine what's happening to a modern production Hemi at the 1000 hp mark.

I worked at a Chrysler garage in 79. A main bearing knock on cold start was common in V8 engines. The v-belts would hold the crank up against the upper front main and cylinder firing would make a knock. All engines I worked on had a grooved lower main. Installing a solid lower shell would fix the problem. This was common in SBCs even with solid lower shells. In that case you had to take the front main clearance down to one thousand.

But in a new car assembly they would not have access to any oversized bearings. so I am calling all this BS.

I'm questioning how .020" undersize main bearings can be installed with a crank having .010" undersized journals would even rotate. The interference fit would render it immovable. Did you perhaps get your parameters crossed? I.E. A .020" crank with .010" bearings? This would likely run for awhile but oil pressure would be almost non existent.

Tight tolerances, 0 weight oils, garbage tee oil delivery schemes, higher engine operating temps and cost down engineering are far more likely to kill an engine.

Tony correct me if I'm wrong but if you study the picture carefully the upper bearing shells don't appear to be full groove the groove stops short of the end of the bearing wouldn't that create somewhat of a sealed oiling system? The crankshaft would still be held in place and located by the other 4 main bearings but it would allow the end of the crank at number 5 to turn a slight ellipse from lack of support causing a rear main seal leak? The direction of crankshaft rotation should be forcing the locating tab of the bearing into the block and the oil pressure would keep the crank from coming in direct metal to metal contact with the bearing but also causing a deflection in the crankshaft of a few thousandths of an inch possibly causing a leak? I mean no disrespect just trying to wrap my head around the situation.

If a main bearing drops out, you loose 100% of all oil pressure. With that much clearance, and that little oil flow, even on a high performance oil pump system, is enough for the oil pressure to flatline and the whole system lacks enough oil to continue to operate. At the point one went a couple of miles, it would stick bearings all along the crank and seize up.

There is no way a person would not peal out in a car like that, so catastrophic engine failure would happen quickly in a situation like that. I have seen a lot of engine building mistakes, it could happen that an assembler left out a bearing cap. I just don’t think that motor would last an hour with a red blooded American hammering on the gas pedal like we all know would certainly and absolutely happen in a 170 Demon.

To give Der Tebbel his due Daimler did breathe some life into Chrysler- not a lot, but some. Cerberus didn't do squit with the company when they had it, but at least they didn't bugger it up. Fiat seemed to try to revitalize Chrysler at first but I think, they saw it as a foot in the door for Fiat and Alfa Romeo dealerships here in the U.S. When Fiat and Peugeot merged it appeared that they relegated all the remaining Chrysler brands, to red-headed stepchild status. I know Roger got a bad taste in his mouth after what GM did to him concerning Saturn; but if Penske Automotive got a hold of CDJ&R I think they could perform a miracle with it. Scuttlebutt says Jeep and Ram are not on the chopping block but if anyone could get those two brands away from Stellantis as well, I think Roger could.

Stelantis is a foreign corporation now. The chairman has stated that he is intent upon reducing the cost structure by 30 percent of the North American operation. Engineering is almost gone now in America at Chrysler. A 30 percent cut means that they will outsource all the development work to low cost countries. They will have to keep a absolute minimum level of engineering talent in house to get the product certification and validation done. That’s it. They will be done in less than three years. As problems occur they will be unable to respond quickly to the situation. The broken vehicles will be stacked up at the dealerships and the situation will escalate from there.

One very real problem the UAW has documented is that the wiring harnesses are too short. That makes them hard to plug in and leaves them under tension. As the vehicle is built out plugs don't make good contact. They may test bad and ten minutes later test good. Ship it!

if they forgot to put main bearings in I' imagine it would rattle itself apart in like 30 seconds. it would shake ungodly bad if it ran at all.

The idea of any company leaving a rod bearing out is just insanity. Its 100% a hoax. Dodge and every other brand test runs their engines. The second it cranked they would've hears the awful, insanely loud clanking and smashing sound that would be caused by the rod just loosely thrashing around against the crank, and it sure as hell wouldn't have lasted over 1,000 miles or a single pull down a drag strip! It wouldn't even last 2 seconds before the rod and crank were destroyed.

Probably a miss communication in that the rod bearing was what was actually missing. 🤔

Why would a missing rod bearing create a rear main leak, or anything other than a destroyed rod?

What I don't understand in this day and age why we haven't went to full roller bearings on crankshaft like some motorcycle engines have. Would seem to be superior to me

Sabotage, these engines are suppose to be on dyno, which would have caught this. We know a lot of the workers thought they got the gold ring after the strike, but got the shaft instead by the new euro bed wetter enviro tree huggers.
