update:
I got the car back and here is what the dealer sheet says:
C/S when cold starting vehicle C/S there is "clutch Chatter". After vehicle warms up chatter can no longer be heard, checked and advised. Duplicated concern found internal engine componet failure.. removed engine and dissasembled found #3 thrust bearing broken and no other damage found. Did find crank shaft scored where bearing was broken. Replaced crankshaft, bearings all hardware for piston rods, main bearings, flywheel, seals in oil pan, front engine cover,rear cover,CMP actuator and crank belt. reassembled engine, charged AC, Vacuum filled coolant and bled brake fluid. Replaced Aux fuse block and hold got damaged during replacement.

It's a full page of parts also listed.

Seems to work fine now and its now on my lift installing all my CF goodies, Corsa exhaust, forgestar wheels with Pirellis but I'm leaving the blower in the box till I out a few thousand miles onit though.
