OK, my 98 Contour SVT has gone to lunch (engine), and at the least, I feel that I don't trust the dealership to treat me fairly. Most ppl have told me that a good portion of my engine might be useable, and I won't have to pay for an entire engine.
I need 2 things:
1.) Someone (or 2 or 3) to do open heart surgery and find out for me EXACTLY what went wrong with the engine (Ford doesn't want to waste time on the precise diagnosis)... only wants my $$$$$.
2.) Need the work done per whatever the diagnosis is, hopefully the same person that does the opening dissection. (*** Please see this Forum in the General/Problems section for my experience with the symptoms my SVT exhibited.)
I am hoping for someone in the northern Virginia area, or possibly very southern MD -- I don't wish to have the car sent too far if I can help it. If you're interested, professional and have the tools etc., please contact me with some kind of idea what you might charge, either in a post here, or by email. Thanks ! - Dave stargate7@cox.rr.com

I'm obviously not the guy you're looking for but DAMN I'd love to be there to help/watch/drink while this is all going on. I'd love to know more about my engine's internals and play with one a little.

It might be fun just to price out sending it to Terry Haines for a rebuild/buildup vs what Ford wants for just getting you back on the road. You never know.
