Looks like a lot more copper than spray in that damaged head and Block. Rolled it on. It's oozing out and that's a legit opinion from the looks in the pics.. Myself Clean block and head. I've seen Several repairs that don't work or last long when you see it used. No need for it if the surfaces...
I'm with Travis_R. I've been there! Wow! You know what they say when the _hit hits the fan. Good grief!! I know better!! There was a underlying problem is my guess. Employee etc.....JMO.

There's potential problems and you can see it in the Pic.s if you know what to look for. The Eng. Head not all that big of a deal to replace. The possible Eng. block damage is going to be the big issue. Crack, Rust Etc.. Parts are not going to be that bad of a problem either. It's just what's...
It's going to be interesting after the shop pulls the head. I believe to see a big problem with the Eng. Block. It's there could Head also. They know it!!
Stick around 2500$ no FEL. being 4WD. everything in working order. 3G. is Reasonable! Rule of Thumb. Always ask a high price!! You can always come down but it's hard to go up. In Ga.. ;)
