Well it appears my son blew his motor is his 2016 2.0 Series FRS, mechanic friend said it sounds like a rod bearing is spun. Going to try to see if Toyota will warranty the motor under the 60K powertrain warranty (currently have 45K miles), but my guess is they'll find a reason not to since he has an aftermarket exhaust on it. In anticipation of them saying "NO", I'm trying to locate a shop that specializes in the 86 motor so he can have it rebuilt with better quality parts with performance mods. Can anyone recommend a shop? We live near LBI, exit 67 on the GSP.

Thanks!
