I'm at a loss of $600 labor already, they pulled the motor and disconnected everything, then they bolted it back in just to save shop space.
IF they can JUST replace the valve head (because of VVEL they need to replace the whole head, not just a valve and a valve seat... POS) I'm out $1100 on labor, the valve head is like $1000-1100, plus (I assume) some other fees $300-400, so I'm out $2500-2600 all told and I keep my warranty. IF anything got stuck in the cylinder and scored the cylinder wall, I need a new engine... (Tech's said that they couldn't scope the cylinder because of VVEL... POS...)
So they're taking their time because they're cutting me a HELL of a deal on labor, and I told them to take all the time they need...
NOW, I'm 100% sure the dealership that had my car for 13 days with the laundry list of problems started to fix it, then I got into it with the dealershit guy, and they just tossed it back together...
