OK, It sounds more like a valvetrain problem (finger followers/lash adjusters/cam) than the whole engine being toast.I will PM you a company that could move the car to Mi.FWIW I have had cars here from Tx/NJ etc and engines & transmissions from all over.We try to work to help our customers and explain the 'guts' of any problem.I know the distance is a problem but we offer the best(be it the smallest !) specialist Contour shop in the USA...my 2 cents!!!
