Thanks for the advise Dean. They called me today and said that there are in fact 2 holes in the engine. One in the oil pan and one coming from the bottom of the engine case itself. My theory is this, perhaps I hit something that caused the hole in the oil pan thus depriving the engine of oil causing it to throw the rod(which is where the second hole is). The only problem is the location of the hole in the oil pan is behind the exhaust, an almost impossible place for something to hit and not cause any damage to the exhaust pipe. The insurance guy can't give me an explanation to the hole in the oil pan, so I requested a second adjuster to look at it. I'm not getting my hopes up, I'm surely screwed either way. More than likely I'll be paying for the new(used) engine. I'll surely ask that they have a good look at the transmission while it's out, and I'll try to play 'let's make a deal' with them. I probably don't have too much room though, especially since I'm getting a good price on the engine already. Lucky for me I already have a spare DI cassette, but I'd like to have a second to auction off and cover some of the expenses. I'm still mind boggled by the fact that the engine gave NO warning...... except for the CE light, but it's been on for ages now.... hmmm, perhaps it was telling me more than I thought. But, the last diagnosis said it was engine mis-fire(i changed the plugs), inlet temp sensor(which i changed), and evaporator leak(i tighted the fuel cap). The light went off for only a short time though.... and then resumed. Anyone is more than welcome to come and look at the car if they want, and offer their advice.
TIA,
twflys
