Question Ok.... Is This My Fault Or What.

Ok well i have never had a post where i really had to vent but now i really do...

The situation.. Im out in BFE and have 1 guy to work on 911's... So a monopoly kind of. Well 2k ago i had basically a top end rebuild with the new rings as the ones prior didnt seat right. Ok so at that time i put a new clutch disc in as the old was pretty well gone. So i did that and with the rings i was toldto do the breakin period for 2k miles... At 1k i brought in for the change oil, adjust valves a check up i guess.. Ok well the odometer hit 2050 miles approx and it happenedto be a day of an autox.. So with being over the 2k mark as mech said.. I went and took 5 runs.. I then heard a noise which i know now was a broken head stud. Ok moralof the story is i drove it nice and easy for the whole 2k and now the car has 2300 on it.. He is now telling me the flywheel is burnt and the clutch disc is gone... Now i drive hard normally but with the rings i didnt and the only day of any hard driving was the autox. So in 2300 miles without hard driving but the always blip throttle to match revs shifting, is this anyway possible or could amechanic adjust a clutch where it woreout prematurly as noway i drove it as hard as i used to and having a clutch last 30k. So what is the deal? I know he is a friend or whatnot of a highly reputable guy on this board.. I am not flaming him but if you only knew the rest of this whole story... But truthfully i feel like im getting taken.. A new clutch needed in 2300 miles?? Noway as i know my driving and i didnt slip clutch,peelout, or any hanging on the pedal driving... What do i do as im out in bfe and noone to work on it but me.. If anyone really wants the whole story to tell me everything that is wrong here id like to spill everything out on the phone.. Ill call i just need to vent... Thanks guys

bump...

Sounds like Nut needs advice on dealing with his wrench.

Anyone got any ideas?
