I called the dealer I bought it from and they said I have no warranty and I really don't want to pay the price for a new engine.

Depends...long term keeper? Short term flipper?
If long term, I'd have it rebuilt by a pro shop, if block is good with stouter parts, pistons,.rods, valve springs, and oil pan baffle. Round it out with a good oil cooler and enjoy the nex 200K+ miles....
Flipper? Buy a junk yard motor with a 12 month warranty and move along... 3K to 5K either way. 7K is too much to pay for a stock dealer motor. IMHO. Good luck.
