[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1761829, member: 32659"] To the OPs original question. If the shop called me and said we got a broken bolt in the head and gave me a few options as to what could happen I'd be fine with the repair cost if, I agreed to the possibility of things going awry. If they just tried something without asking I'd hit them for the labor cost of replacing the head. The problem shops run into is 95% of the customers think they fix stuff with some sort of magic wand then charge an outrageous amount. Working on cars and trucks takes allot of skill. Working on a 25yr old diesel with who knows how many miles complicates things even more. People always say that engines good for 500,000 miles. They seem to forget everything attached to it is only good for 10 yrs before it becomes worn and easy to break. [/QUOTE]
