Could be from ? Timing chain system, guides, tensioner? Cam phaser piece? Junk that fell in during the previous work?
I don't think techs make a bunch on warranty work do they?

That is exactly my first impression. Does look plastic and too large to be a piece of the valve train to me. Someone did some really sloppy mechanic work if they went in the engine in the past. Happens all the time. Sloppy work = sloppy results.This. It looks like it's threaded or a piece of loom. It also looks very plastic in nature.
That is great news and really the only proper fix to the whole situation.Ending of the story. After being in the shop since Sept 20 and ongoing Mopar is going to replace the engine. New factory crate 3.6 pentastar ordered today ! They didn't make it easy but in the end they did the right thing. Happy Jeeper !
This thread continues to mystify. In Post #32 you say it was indeed plastic and they were buttoning it up so you could take delivery of the vehicle.Ending of the story.

I think it was all the other metal bits found in various locations as outlined by OP.This thread continues to mystify. In Post #32 you say it was indeed plastic and they were buttoning it up so you could take delivery of the vehicle.
How did we move from a piece of plastic wire loom in the pan to a new engine?
They are going to tear down the engine upon your request?So dealer just called and they found this piece of metal and shavings in the oil pan, magnetic dip tube and oil valve screen. Can you identify the big piece. Gonna have them tear down engine look for culprit. Engine is under warranty do you think this needs to be replaced. 2015 jeep wrangler jku Thanks
So, they replaced the engine because of a piece of wire loom in the oil pan, for free ? You made out like a bandit.
Questionable at best that the tech thought that was metal. I wish the OP luck.As long as they have someone that knows what they are doing replacing it
At BITOG every discussion needs to get down to the tiniest detail discussed 6 different ways. It's in our DNA.Not sure why people are getting hung up on the metal piece that turned out to be plastic and how all of that plays into the new engine replacement. Who cares? OP is getting taken care of, that’s what matters.
I just find it hysterical on all levels.Not sure why people are getting hung up on the metal piece that turned out to be plastic and how all of that plays into the new engine replacement. Who cares? OP is getting taken care of, that’s what matters.
Plus it's a forum for discussion of vehicle-related topics. OP started the discussion-- we can certainly ask questions related to it. No one has to answer, but I find it curious anyone would, well....question our questioning....I just find it hysterical on all levels.
The questions cannot be answered though by the OP. He only knows what he’s told by the dealer.Plus it's a forum for discussion of vehicle-related topics.
