Sorry to hear about the continued frustrations Boxkita. My wagon was a total headache for quite some time and finding help let alone good help was not easy. After a bad shop experience or two the decision to handle the build of the motor at home was made and thanks to a couple very capable friends I've had years of nearly problem free driving with the car. I'm chasing a minute oil leak right now and don't have the time or space to do the work at home anymore and trusting a shop to work on the car is not easy at all given the choices locally. Best of luck in the Renton programs, one of the friends that helped on my build is a graduate from there and one of the few people I trust to work on vehicles.
