Re: Getting new head
Please obtain the bulletin number, because I believe the dealer has no idea what is wrong. The only bulletins in regard to oil consumption that I can find are in regard to using engine oil dye, the PCV baffle.
The only bulletin that red flags a cylinder head has no reference to engine oil consumption, so let's hope it was the cylinder head and not the engine; or you will be going back again. (I'm not saying it could not be the cylinder head, since it could be a head or a cylinder head gasket. I'm just saying I see no bulletins red-flagging the cylinder head for oil consumption.)
The bulletin I believe the dealer is referencing is #PIP3935 - (10/03/2006), and had to do with misfire and the elongating of the intake valve guide; usually on cylinder #1. The complaint was usually rough idle, with the Serice Engine Soon Light on and DTC P0300 - P0302. It affected vehicles built prior to 287591 (Last six digits of the VIN).
