RE: VERY VERY BAD NEWS
Yes, by all means listen to the guys that have stated to check with your insurance company. A friend of mine is an adjuster for Allstate and he was telling me just a few weeks ago about all of the claims that they paid on cars with the same issue after we had some bad *** rain down here in Fl. If you decide to change out the other pistons and rods, let me know because I have a set of 6 perfect ones AND a crank with mated bearings that I removed from an almost new motor to install forged parts and I'll sell them to you real cheap. There just sitting on a shelf and I know I won't be needing them, good luck.

hell no THR they do not know wat they are doing they installed a supercharger on a 01 GT they guy payed them like 4000 for install and tunning and other crap and when the car got out they car wouldnt stay turned on!! I cant believe THR handed the guy the car like that i think THR is a sorry excuse for a shop! the owner banks off stupid kids (no offense) who bring them their mustangs and charges them an arm and the two legs!! take advie from me and what people have told me do not take your car to THR as soon as my mechanic gets certified to be a SCT tunner he'll probably tune my car for $50
