You should have packed a folding table in the trunk for the mechanic to use, because he'll fill it up with parts just to get to the head.

Of course it is. And after that, keep the wallet handy. The hits will be coming harder and more often. It's what these cars do best. (retired auto tech here)

Head gasket is $5k? I've gotten out of the personal wrenching business, but this would definitely make me look twice.
