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 "yes sir" 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
