One thing we all pretty much agree on is that about you can do is fall on the mercy of whatever help the dealer is willing to do for you. They have legal ground to stand on here so they wouldn't be required to do anything but most reputable businesses will try to help in some way.

This thread is sure flying along. OP - You've new in town didn't you say? If you go legal you will probably bite off your nose to spite your face.
I'm not seeing a whole lot cut and dried about this whole thing,

Thanks for the replies guys. I'll proceed with the 92k engine.
I'm still interested in hearing what you all think the most likely sequence of events are, given the circumstances, but that's more for my own curiosity on how things work.
Also, if you were in my position, would you still do business with this establishment?

If it is convenient to use the dealer and his pricing is competitive I see no reason not to use him. They (the dealership) will most likely have the service mngr himself drive your car after future repairs . Not really , but they will double check stuff. It is my humble opinion the cap was left off or loose. In 30 + yrs i have never seen a cap BLOW off. And the engine temp snuck up on you. A so called idiot light may have been better in this case. You stated that you were driving on a highway and it was raining. Meaning you had your eyes and concentration outside the car. Move on to the next crisis . WHich is just around the next curve.
