Brought it to get diagnosed by a different dealership since the initial dealership claimed no fault and refused to work on my car due to "modifications". States my car was too low and the exhaust was the cause of damaging my heads. Car was on stock suspension and they could not prove my exhaust was the cause of damage. Overall, it led to my car having rtv and metal shavings clogging the oil passages leading to spun bearings, and knocking in the left head area.
Why did they advise that the head gaskets needed to be replaced? $1,000 is extremely high to replace head gaskets when they already have the engine out of the car for the recall. RTV clogging oil passages has nothing to do with your car being lowered and everything to do with the way that they performed the recall.
