I don't know how the laws are in your state, but where I live, a shop has three chances to fix your problem, if they don't do it on the third try you get your money back.

I'm in here to say Jordan replaced the head on my motor. It only took him 8 hours (he probably could have done it in 5 if I wasn't pestering him with questions ), he did it for extremely reasonable prices, highest level of quality, and it has been running flawlessly ever since it was worth the 18 hour round trip to me hands down.

That's pretty funny. If I don't fix it right the first time, you won't be giving me any money to get back.

Thanks for the advice. I went in on Friday, but I forgot to record the sound. I'll try and get that video tomorrow.

If you're in or above Gainsville, FL then you are less than 8 hours from Jordan. For quality engine work at reasonable prices I would make the trip. Then again I was able to drive my car to him so towing it would have upped the cost a lot.

I have a core engine that needs sleeves and pistons that I could build for you OP and you swap over that refreshed head from Honda. I can easily freight the motor to you. If I can help you out, let me know. I absolutely hate seeing stories like this....
