1. Check the TB alignment yourself if you have some tools.
- You have to remove the FRONT Passenger side wheel to see the Crankshaft marking:

IF the shop installed the TB wrong, and therfore causing engine damage, then they HAVE to eat up the cost (by law).

They probably did it unintentionally. I almost installed it wrong myself, but discovered it only after manually turning the CRANKSHAFT 2 revolutions.


2. Check the TB alignment using another independent shop.
The problem is "any further driving at this time can cause even more engine damage".
But if you can somehow get your car (two truck) to another shop to certify that the TB was installed wrong, then again the original shop has to eat up the cost.


3.Actual pictures of damaged 850 engine are here FYI:
