if it's not, then I say go forward with it and call it a day. Just make sure you get everything in writing and that you do everything by the book so that this new engine/flywheel/clutch is covered under warranty incase anything god forbid happens in the future.
And you best make sure this new engine is a brand spanking new crate engine straight from Japan. (not that it wouldn't be)

It definitely doesn't sound like new parts. Sounds almost like a rebuilt bottom end.
OP - - I'd almost get the car back and driving and do the small claims thing like you're talking about. Unfortunately, this seems like the fastest way to have the car back. I wouldn't sign anything admitting fault or an agreement and definitely get the warranty on parts / labor they're doing in writing.
I don't think you should be paying for anything (if it happened exactly as you described obviously) but at least you're making headway in getting your vehicle back.
