Verdict is in on the engine
Update:
They called and told me that they know for sure what happened now. I spun a rod bearing, wore down one of the cam journals WAY past tolerance, and there are a lot of brass shavings in the oilpan. A few valves are effed too.
They also told me that the adjuster came buy and promptly denied the warranty claim. Now I have to submit a letter of dispute to try and appeal the decision, which will take 15 business days (read: 3 weeks) to process and reconsider.
This blows.
