Document it carefully, time, Service managers name and mechanics the works!. If they say it isn't the block take it immediately to another Dealer and have them look at it.<br><br> Document it thoroughly as well, even get the service managers to sign your paperwork. <br><br> If it turns out to be cracked the month or so later you have proof it was in twice for the same issue. I would even take some pictures while it was on the rack.<br><br> If they tell you to leave the service area say &quot;yes sir&quot; and finish taking all your pictures before leaving the vehicle Act stupid if you have to, but get EVERYTHING on paper.

SFtopSGT said it best: Document, document, document. This is a situation of CYA big time. Document again just to be sure.<br>Tom
