Believe me, this crossed my mind many times and I have expressed my feelings to him in a mature manner. He wanted me to bring the car up to Atlanta, me paying for transportation, THEN he told me I'd have to pay for labor for them to pull apart the motor and diagnose what was wrong.

He knew that would take a ton of time, money, and effort on my part and I knew he was hoping that I would just say forget it and have it taken care of myself, unfortunately he was right. There is just no way I could be without a car for that long and have no guarantee that my car would be fixed and paid for by him/his insurance.

So, I'm going to have the motor replaced and get a retune by performance driven because I have an EcuTek license... although I wasn't extremely impressed by their previous tune.
