Can't comment on them being liable for any engine damage, but from what they've said above, they seem to not grasp the difference between a warranty and quality control. They aren't the same thing and unfortunately you've become a member of their, possibly non-existent, quality control dept. I hope it works out for you. We're all watching.

Are you going to remove the intercooler to check for metal? Maybe the oil pan as well?

Yeah, Im going to remove both. I think I might try to figure out a way to slightly pressurize the intercooler and run water through it or some type of liquid to try to rid it of any debris lodged in there....I just feel that blowing air through it only could possibly leave stuff behind............Thoughts on this?

Then just flush the motor 3 or 4 times with a very light viscosity oil or the marvel mystery oil stuff just to try to get rid of anything that might be in the engine.

Thank you for the support.

I would use air conditioner flush to clean the intercooler.

I was thinking about taking the intercooler to a semi repair shop, figured they would have some type of cleaning tank for the big intercoolers for the semi's.

That sounds like a pretty clever idea!
