this sucks...
well, apparantly my car having an 'internal engine failure' at the same time, coincidentally (of course), that i brought it to the shop, is not their fault. flippin bad coincidence, i say. hmmmm...i am extremely pissed right now...the dealer has my car. they want their rental back...they have my money...i'm thinking about firebombing that damn store. anyways, just wanted to vent. doesn't look like me and the svx will be having fun anytime soon.

that sounds pretty darn suspicious ... "Yeah, uhh, your car was running ok when it got here but it broke when you tried to leave with it, but it's not our fault!"
"Internal Engine Failure" is a bit general ... did they give you any evidence proving that it was a long lasting issue that just cropped up? Or is "Internal Engine Failure" synonymous with "Earl dun forgot to put the water pump back in" ...... |

<<Any chance for a second opinion?>>
I'll give you a second opinion: 214,000 miles. Oil changed religously every 8,000 to 10,000 miles. last pressure test left each cylinder within a percent or two of the others. Catostrophic engine bearing failure on a EG33? About as likely as winning the lottery two months in a row. Besides, there's no reason they can't replace the bearing for less than $4400 unless sent debris through the entire oil system. Doug
