WTF? LOL! The car had issues related to the mods! A loose crank pulley is certainly something you don't want on an engine, the plenum spacer and missing bolt another indication of issues with modifications, and a coolant leak on top of that(haven't understood where the hole came from)... All these are not warrantable and combined can lead to a catastrophic failure. What caused the damage is debatable, but the car had issues because of modifications. His dealer was an *** how he handled the situation, but that doesn't change anything. Bottom line: tHe engine had issues because of mods.
I think people should take responsability for their mods and accept the fact when they screwup. Actually IMHO he did the right thing and I give him thumb-up.

But either way, it is totally wrong of them to do that.
It is for this type of situation that the consumer protection laws are written.

a Car/engine doesn't die because of an exhaust, that is not right...... on the other hand, if the car burns down because you installed the exhaust wrong, than yes, you just owned yourself.
situation is a bit different from a car having lose crank pulley, bad crank seal, coolant issues, throwing cel codes and with lose bolts on the plenum.
