'They told me that they have seen these engines, with a fresh head, go back together and blow out the piston rings on startup.'

You just pegged my BS-O-Meter with that one.
I'm not sure what is causing the problem, but I know one thing for sure: I wouldn't trust that shop any farther than I could throw it.
How could you possibly 'blow out' the rings by installing the head.

If they screwed up and milled the head WAY too far, you might get a very little excess blow by, but blow out the rings....naw.


'They said there is no way that head left their shop in a compromised condition. They have ways of testing all parameters. The head is good.'

That statment says it all ( i.e. we NEVER make a mistake and the customer is always wrong ).
