They did fix the engine that the chain broke on. That was the JY engine. I had to give them the old original engine from the car so that they could take the upper pan and chain guide rail since they got damaged when the chain broke.

This particular JY Silver Star Recycling is very good. They always have like 10 differnt '76-'85 cars in their yard and I have never been disappointed. This whole experience with the warranty replacement only strengthens opinion of them.
