Diagnostic shows a "misfire" on all cylinders. Initially, the tech thought it was "bad gas," but then determined it wasn't...
They are now going to pull the head off = 6 hours labor at cost of $665. I am told that to re-valve/re-surface, the total cost (out of pocket -- since they suspect it is the valve) will be $3,794. And to totally replace the head, they quoted $7,395 (ouch)!!!
Since I don't race with my car (I drive it well -- its my baby!!), I'm having a hard time believing I induced the damage... The service rep told me it is likely due to over-rev/mis-shift (neither of which I do)...
Is this really happening???

Yikes. Best of luck with it. Any thoughts about a second opinion?
BTW, where in Plano are you?
