I'd love to get my engine out of there but as you read its somewhat a catch 22. If I try to take it out its going to be a HUGE thing trying to keep him from getting my $1000. Also since he'* doing a 3yr 36,000 warranty on it I don't see him fuxing it up like that. I honestly don't think he'* done anything but I can't prove it. I did some homework on this guy before hand. I talked to a few of his customers and they were happy with the work. One guy had one of those old trucks with a race motor in it and he told me he'* been going there for years with all his needs. Plus there were plenty of high priced cars in his shop being worked on. It looks like a pretty good shop too, basically all signs pointed to a decent shop. Obviously that was a little off but like I said, I just think he was buying time till he could get to it because he is backed up like crazy. If he told me after 2 weeks that he haden't touched it I would obviously have taken it elsewhere. I think he knows enough about engines to know what will and won't destroy and engine, if he knows that doing that crap to the main caps would destroy the engine he wouldn't warranty it for that long, if at all. Everything seems to point to lies but no damage done. But now that I'm questioning his work and demanding the work be done soon the car has moved and things seem to be happening a little faster now. What do you think?

Hmmm, trying to think about this.
Jeffrey: How long would it take for his motor to go? More than the 3 year, 30,000 mile warranty? If it would go before then, you would have him to work on it. Make sure you have a copy of the warranty and read it end to end to make sure that its all good and legit.

i meant an estimate, silly. I know its impossible to be able to know that, I was just wondering if you had a good educated guess or not.
