I guess it depends on how deep they'll dive into the analysis.
Biggest issue is the computer is monitoring EVERY FAWKING THING and if they look at the data, they can see abuse. Also rod knocking means the engine was run low on oil/oil light ignored/run at extreme angle/run while upside down. Once again, not warrantable when they see the fawking oil light was on for 10 hours.
Before sending in an engine, DO NOT change the oil and filter. Brand new filters/fluids is a tell tale sign that someone is covering up their fuckery. When this is seen, then guys REALLY get out their magnifying glasses. Don't spray starter fluid in the intake, that'll register an overspeed and the filter is the first thing that is smelled. Once again, overspeed is customer damage.
About the only way you can make anything happen is if the oil filter goes into bypass mode and you recirculate all the metal flakes. Or more easily, hook up a trailer to this bitch and run it at 100% load. That'll find any issues as long as you back off when a warning light comes on. Or you could wait until its cold AF, go out, crank it and within 1 second, slam it into gear and WHOMPOW it across a field (typically cold engines need ~5 seconds to build oil pressure, and then after that need only light load to build heat, so theoretically you'd be putting the engine under heavy load with no oil pressure). Heavy wear means more flakes, means more bearings chewed up. Accelerating wear. This about the only way that you can trick all the sensors into being "in the green" without actually being in the green.
Or with a heavy AF trailer, engine cold, crank it, slam it in gear, and whompow it hard. Massive load with no oil in the top end. Fawker is strong but ain't that strong.
Don't actually go into the engine. Most bolts are marked/painted over. People can see when there has been fuckery.
Wildcard: Have you tried another dealer??
Anyway, that is all I got.
