I'd ask them to place the old engine back in that crate and you take to a DIy carwash and use the high pressure degreaser setting to clean that sucker off and make it a conversation peice!
Good idea but won't work.
You need to return the old (identical - so no 3.6L conversion here) engine to avoid a $3k core charge

they FINALLY (after like 6+ weeks) approved the repair and eventually even sent the check for the engine and the repair (after another week of waiting). I'll post a complete summary when I have my car back (don't want to jinx it)
