It is ever so evident you dont want to work this out with him. I think you realize your threads have put you past the point of any reconsideration from him. Like Bibt1272 said "you catch more flies with honey than vinager" it seems you jar has only vinager. Im sorry to see you bite your nose to spite your face. Did you re-tourqe the intake?The wheels after 200 miles? There is a very critical break-in period. I still check all fluids after each drive no matter how short or far. I know I contantly have to re tighten stuff at least every other drive. I.E. header bolts, valve cover bolts etc, etc. this is not a maintenace free cars. You must be competent enough to maintain the basics. A novice mechanic need not own one since they require someone with alot of knowledge & experience to keep them tweaked properly (not insinuating anything) but some things are your responsability after the purchase....
