Failed Double Roller

RE: Failed Double Roller
If you can't assess the damage yourself, demand they send one of their authorized installers to come do it, or they have to flatbed your car up there, and you be present when they teardown.
Only problem.. I have to pay to have it flat bedded... =(
Other than that... at least this is one hell of a learning experience...
By the time I am ready to do my next radical cam, I will have a second car, and this one will only be my project car... so I will be able to do it myself.. =)
Thanks to all that responded, and I will keep you updated..
Still not too happy about paying 600 bucks to get it back to them... but what can I do...

How about: "Save the Receipt" ... If they have already agreed to: "Make you whole" on the needed repairs ... you might be able to show a Small Claims Magistrate that the Six-Hundred Dollar expenditure for having your Car transported to their Repair Center should be part of their legal responsibility for being responsible for the damage and needing to have the car towed.
Not that 6-Bills is anything to sneeze at ... But, getting your Monte back in fighting shape after a Catastrophic Failure of a Critical Component which might be "$" -or- "$$$$" seems like a small premium to pay to have this episode end with you not having to bear the expenses of Parts and Labor for the rebuild.

So to clarify, they are rebuilding your whole motor, top and bottom end, pistons, bearings, rods, valves, rockers/rollers, everything? So they WON'T be using parts from the motor, but new?

This thread had me investigating Timing Chain issues. The '07 Caddy DOHC has a nightmare of Timing Chain and Cam Chain issues that weere causes by the Manufacturer not hardening the Chains beforoe they were shipped-out for install. They stretch and eventually break causing the $45,000 Caddy to become Dead and need Major Life-reviving mechanical surgery at the Dealerships.
I hate when I spent a couple of hundred dollars on something and it goes real bad. I'd hate to be one of those Caddy Owners!
