Then you are very, very lucky that they didn't say tough nuggies. You modded the car and that directly caused the hydrolock.
I'd take the 80k engine and give your insurance adjuster a Thank You card at Christmas.

I'd demand some kind of warranty on the replacement motor. 2 yr/24,000 miles no deductible perhaps? That would be enough time to make sure you didn't get stuck with a junk motor.
woo i should find out today

Wait you hydrolocked your motor (99% of the time your own fault) and insurance is paying for a new one? This is exactly whats wrong with the insurance industry and why rates are so high.
