Major problems - Help! V70-XC70 1998

First, and foremost, and I've not read anyone else's responses, it was the tech's responsibility to check everything over prior to replacing the head. This includes checking the block with a level, and checking the block for leak down. Further, when a headgasket is blown, or the head cracks, and coolant and oil are mixed, the coolant hoses MUST be checked considering oil is disastrous to a coolant hose, particularly the smaller ones. It all comes down to pride in workmanship, and standing behind the work you complete. The dealer is responsible. Either the block was bad and they didn't catch it, or the coolant hose was compromised and they didn't catch it. Contact the dealer, tell them you are contacting your attorney, and go from there.
