I just was in today and talked to Keith around 1PM. He was, to put it mildly, skeptical.

He said, basically, "if it's not acting up then we can't really fix it", even though I tried to explain to him why I was concerned and wanted the work done. He said he'd have one of his guys look into it and would also talk to you, Chris. I told him if the work was going to be done, I'd like you doing it.

The other interesting thing, though, was he said that the coverage wouldn't expire. If THAT's the case (I want that in writing), then it's less of a big deal. We'll see.
BTW, a Focus SVT motor in a Contour? That would be pretty cool. Strip the car down for weight and make it an autocrosser.
