No compression in Cylinders 4, 5 and 6 Help

Me also. But I'd have hated seeing OP pay for the head to come off without a proper test confirming it.

 

Don't mean to be an *****hole and maybe wrong, but it looks like items you were charged for parts separately, like the intake seals that are in the kit with that part number. I had this happen at a Freightliner dealer last November.

Oh here is a link for the kit contents -

Detroit Diesel DD15 Cylinder Head Gasket Kit A4720162120

What was really wrong with the head?

Cracked?

 

I would not wait, and I would ask for the head back, there is no core on new heads.

 

The kit part number is a complete kit to do a head replacement, I have bought them for as low as $560, and they are complete with all the gaskets, the link is to show you the kit's contents as it is invoiced on your BoS. The point is this, shops will do this to make more money, if they invoice the part number, the contents should not be paid by you separately.

I asked my mechanic about the head, he said for you to get it and keep it, there may be a chance that it is usable and just needs to go to a shop to be "reconditioned", you could make some of the money back by also selling it if there is no major problems.

 

My neck of the woods a head rebuild cost around $2-3k.

That's a big red flag, I'd never deal with them.
And all of the positive reviews are probably fake.
