    The mechanic actually sent the head away to be refaced so i don't think the place he sent it to would have refaced it if it was too far gone. I just want it to be fixed correctly so I don't have the same problem again.
    From my point of view, someone has to have stuffed something up for it to happen again within a week of being repaired.

    Did the mechanic say the head was cracked prior the first repair?

    Well. He either replaces the head or gets it repaired, if it can.

    As per my previous post - if they made the decision that the head could be refaced then they must cop it. What I was trying to say before is that if the mechanic recommended the head be replaced in the first place, the only way out for him is if you you said "I understand what you are saying but I want you to reface it".

    If the head was cracked, why would you reface it and or repair it. I would of gotten the head replaced if cracked, but if the head was warped, then refacing / shaving by a thou or so would be okay. Any way, not good happening not long after first attempt at getting the job done.
