    Hilarious. You don't get professionals working in garages. Professional means training, exams, honesty, standards, regulation.

    Your sweeping brush still needs some work.

    Having worked in a couple of garages in my life and having dealing with many garages regarding repairs on my own car, and my family and friend's cars then i'm inclined to agree.

    Plenty of "fitters" (people who remove faulty parts and replace with new parts) in garages but very few professionals

    The accountant.
    If it sticks, force it.
    If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.
  • Youve taken your car to a garage which is also a scrap yard ,
    It is possible that a head change could put undue pressure on the lower engine ,ask for a compresion check .
    if your still not happy scrap it .
