Germany or Middle East would probably be his best bet but I still believe that machining the crank and new bearings ( if possible ) would be way less expensive than a used engine from one of these locations...

If I remember right you had some pretty significant engine work done a few months ago. Take it back to them. They messed it up. This issue is unheard of on these cars. Your oil looks fresh. Spinning tires in the snow does not do this--you did nothing wrong. Good luck.

Absolutely right, that is the question I was about to ask, there is no way that you can blow an engine by spinning tires in the snow, after living for 5 years in Montreal I know that for sure... On the other hand going after those guys that probably do screw up the repair may be a challenge "there" but who knows....

It may not be that bad to get an engine shipped from the US. NYC has a lot of shippers that deal with cars and parts shipped to Eastern Europe, as long as you don't mind a month or so wait until it gets close to you.

also I think I’ve had my share of them touching the car. The projected cost of repair for the moment is not worth the grief of more of their butter fingery

a step at a time let’s open it up farther see what if any other damage..then go from there.
we are not working with 100 usd an hour labour hanging over your head threatening every decision you make so it’s ok for now.

If you are looking at an engine swap, I'd look to the JDM market instead of the North American market. I've done JDM swaps before (on Toytoa engines, not Lexus)and as long as you find a reputable JDM importer, you're going to get a better quality product at a cheaper price.

Obviously no motor is indestructible. The rev limiter is there to protect the motor, however, high revs in neutral are different from high revs under load. Plus, we aren't clear of the motor's operating temp when the high revs occurred. Regardless, it is not really advisable to floor it when a vehicle is stuck. I'm not up to date on the "significant" motor work the was previously done, but that would definitely factor in to how I would drive the vehicle versus an untouched one from the factory.
