you could contact your insurance company and tell them where your car is and they will send a inspector to come listen to the engine. Your best bet is bringing it to a shop and have them make up an estimate before the inspector gets there.

You probably pulled some water into your motor. Since water doesn't like to compress I'm sure you bent something. Sorry to hear about that...especially with a new motor. I would contact your insurance agent and explain the problem. Hopefully you have all of your receipts for the aftermarket parts. They may ask you to take it to a certain shop instead of sending out an inspector. Either way, you should find out what the problem is. That shouldn't be too hard for you since you built it.

Good Luck!
