I've performed no mods, like i said she's a stocker! No tune as far as im aware, but hey, very well could be. Like i said, the dealership wont take it for there own inspection ect and are making me do the run around.

Im at a loss for what to do, as any money i spend on getting the report/stripping it only to have the dealer deny liability, would result in the car being off the road for far too long, and even possibly a court case. Which is no good for anyone, especially when i just want it fixed as cheap and easily as possible.

Would a mobile subaru mechanic be able to give me in writing without stripping the job, so i could approach the dealership with the job in writing before i have to choose wether or not to strip and go ahead, or spend my money on the new engine myself...

Just really stuck here guys, any and all input is needed and appreciated! Cheers fella's!
