I guess that happens sometimes. Ah, well, it's all solved, and soon repairs will be under way.

And yes, the guys at the shop definately told me that a stud in cylinder #6 had pulled, not broken. At least when they did a check on the oil and filter, that all came out clean as a whistle. Looks like no bottom-end work is required.
A 30yr old car as a primary daily driver with no esasy backup? You are a brave man. Go buy a cheap Toyota, pull the car from the shop and do the work yourself, you might come out money ahead.....that said, TRE does seem to have an outstanding reputation.

Good luck
