Well she is back home to the safety of her garage, and I have to say she is running better than when she went in. She will go to the body shop on Tuesday to have a new rocker panel installed and painted. This is the same shopthat did the top last year. I will keep a very close eye on her over the next few hundred miles or so.
You know we all wish you the best on this tragic situation. From the sound of it, they got 'er back together right. I'll be looking for the details of everything they did and all that they replaced. We can all learn from this awful experience.

@Busaman.....rereading my post there were a few things that I omitted. The engine was torn down to the block the crank was removed and inspected. All 8 pistons and internals were completely replaced. The engine was rebuilt by a reputable engine builder and not by the dealership. Break in oil was used and then it was flushed and replaced with Mobile1. The engine buildet and the tech suggested taking it easy fot the 500 miles or so, and the dealer will change the oil at 3000 miles on the rebuild at thier expense. I do not know what they are going to do with the surplus parts.
Well.........I have about 300 miles on the rebuild and so far so good, she is running like a top. The oil pressure was manually checked and reads a steady 20psi when at idle and at temperature, but it seems that the oil pressure gauge is off by 1 - 2psi. More investigating will be done to find the reason for the discrepancy. The service manager commented that a new gauge cluster may be in order, we will see whst happens.
