with these cars...or anything currently mainstream...i really wouldnt even have risked pulling the motor...i would have maybe pulled parts(like exhaust cam) distributer cap...shit like that...but... not the whole motor...the likely hood of a douche owning it here in CA is to high to risk...

Going to the yard, always on my game. Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to pull the motor I did. But, I was planning on doing a full rebuild on it so I didn't have to take my car down. Douchebag owned it, worse case scenario (or so I thought) was having to do a bit of a bore.

feel for you though, that is a lot of work for nothing
do they have a straight swap or can you get credit and use it on other parts
you may need?

It didn't take a few hours, it took 20 minutes. I got there at 5:00, and was out by 5:45, including the time it took me to push the hoist through the yard, stand in line, and pay.
Though, I will admit, I'm stupid for not having seen the hole. No excuse for that. I looked at it today and my jaw about hit the floor.
Unfortunately, it's a straight swap I think. I'll have to check to be certain. Were it a credit issue, I'm sure I could find the worth in parts pretty easily, but considering it won't be half-off
those...
