B4 U hand him the cashola:
1. Compression check.
2. Pull the vc's, and see if all the valves are where they are supposed to be.
3. Cut the filter open.
4. Pressure test the cooling system.
If he changed the starter.. Could the previous starter have been trashed by a cyl full of water? [The engine was cranked, and that took the starter out?]
The "new starter" spun the engine, and this time the water lock jacked the head up, blowing the gasket?
As mentioned above... NO DEAL unless the heads are off, B4 the $$ change hands.
IMO, an "agreement" to correct the issue[s] AFTER the sale is pretty much unenforceable...
