Fortunately, the service manager there seems to be on my side.

Hi,

Well, I'm sorry for the damage, but getting a new engine is a plus. Just make sure to stick to your guns and don't settle for depreciated value or partial payment for the new engine from them.

If they try that, point out to the Dealer their 3rd Party Liability in that they farmed out the work. This sort of thing happened to me when replacing the windshield in my Esprit - the local Lotus Dealer recommended the Shop which botched the work. In the end, the Dealer had to Ante up some of the $2200 cost of doing the work right, didn't cost me a thing. Good Luck...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
