I was hoping to finally finish my injector bolt repair (long story short the POS broke in the head and a shop couldn't fix it without pulling the head) and get my Jeep back on the road, but after finishing up the originally borked injector I found out the shop snapped another bolt in the block and removed the top half of the threads from all the others without bothering to tell me. On the plus side doing the conversion to threaded inserts without a bolt in the way is pretty easy since the aluminum head is so soft, but I was unable to keep the bits from wandering on the newly discovered broken bolt so it's a bit more offset than I'd like but we'll see what happens. There seems to be a bit of wiggle room around the bolt hole as it didn't break through into anything, but I only went as deep as I had to for the insert to fit. I managed to get the drivers side loosely assembled before I ran out of time, hopefully I can finish the passenger ide tomorrow.
The other lovely surprise from the shop is they loosened a bracket and undid my CCV vent hose without clamping it back on to the CCV after, and then apparently ran the engine for some reason (from what I can tell just on the passenger cylinders somehow). So now I have a mess of oil and diesel on the passenger side of the engine, and I have to find another clamp for the CCV hose. I know labour is charged hourly, but paying $200 (plus another $100 to get the Jeep home) just to have someone make things worse reminds me of why I hate dealing with shops.
