Anyone out here know where else in reno I can take my car for a possible enginr rebuild/swap? And where they dont hate cuz of mods....

For a shop attempting to do repairs under warranty, *one* mod is "too many". Hell most places won't even warranty their own repairs if you've got mods, or they know the car is being driven competitively... there's just too many variables that can break something.

And, I'm still not too sure that the motor's toast. Have you followed up on any of the suggestions posted in here thus far? I thought that checking the CAI for rubbing on the fender was a pretty good suggestion... I know I added some rubber padding around my Injen to prevent clunking on the fender when the motor pitches. How's your clearence?
