Hi bramen,

Do you have coolant losses and overheating issues?
Any performance related issues as well?

Get a free scan done at your local Autozone parts outlets and let us know the exact code so we know what is causing the CEL to show.

Too bad, the head has to be taken off to rectify the problem. However the $1000 is an estimate. It could be cheaper or more expensive depending on the extend of the damage.
