Well the dealer said (and this didn't surprise me) that if Triumph did make a special extension to my warranty, they would probably do so with the proviso that a Triumph Dealership do all the work, which is fine with me. I told the dealer, and I'm pretty sure he understood where I was coming from, that if Triumph was to tell me too bad, so sad, that I wouldn't bother with either of the two local dealerships at all, and just do all the stuff myself. If they (D&D) do end up tearing my engine down, I make take the opportunity to do some things to the engine, like flowing the head and a 3-angle valve job, maybe giving the dealership Carrillo rods to install, instead of the OE rods, and may consider a big bore if the original cylinders are badly scored. For now though, I'm going to pull the clutch cover when I get home from work, and go from there.
