I can't help but think that piston is way too damaged, what with the crack/deformation on the lip and the valve imprint on top of it.

After they checked the codes, supposedly, they determined the EGR cooler failed. They didn't replace the oil cooler at the same time. (don't remember if I've already mentioned that) Just the EGR cooler swap, with a Chinese part, ran me $2,200.

They got a nice profit on that job...be sure to post the name of the shop after you get this settled. Has your inspector looked at it yet? Piston is toast. Nut was cut before it went in, the valve didn't cut it. It would be good evidence if you could find a stud with cutting wheel marks on it..

I know that you have to deal with this but at this point I would be pushing that they pay for a NEW Ford Crate Long block and they are not the ones to put it in.

The shop has still refused to cooperate, as they have not replied since Thursday afternoon. It's now Monday night. I have requested their insurance information to discuss with their agent, again, no response.
The reason I think the valve cut the but is the valve "fingerprint" looking marks on the piston. Look at the piston right beside the nut. The piston struck the valve. Just my opinion.

As long as the rod wasn't bent I would polish the nicks and run it. I've encountered much worse than that in the field.
Quick valve job on the head and motor on.
However that opinion and advice is on the grounds of no warranty.
If the engine is under warranty I would want a complete long block.

Funny you mention that It was Cut No Doubt about that
Yesterday I was undoing the nut that Holds the FICM Ground to the Intake stud
Well it was just going to Spin it and Break the Harness as it wraped around stud
My Fix was to Grind a Open End wrench to get in between them to Hold the Lower and Back the upper nut Off
But Maybe it got cut for something Similair IDK Just a Thought

Totally agree!. I don't think anyone here would be happy with a "simple repair" - especially from the shop that did this to their personal truck! Even if the shop DOES say that they will "repair it", I would take the position that that isn't good enough. As Sean said, keep pushing for a new engine and have some one else install it.
