Look David,

If you (a) feel you've got good evidence Hoffman's has either intentionally,
or for that matter unintentionally, lied to you at least once about what's
been done (or was not done) with the car; (b) irrefutable evidence that they
totally botched the 1st job in any event; and (c), as a fall back, a 1999
Ford Diesel pickup with, I'm assuming a trailer hitch and, based on your
ownership of a Jaguar, access to a car trailer, Why not suggest to Hoffman
that there is very little trust left in your relationship with them, or in
light of their representatives continuing either out right intentional
fabrications, or at best incompetent understanding and analysis of what
transpired, which now provides no reasonable basis or grounds for confidence
in anything they might propose to do by way of in house remediation in the
future that:

(a) they, or their shop malpractice insurance carrier, provide you with a
courtesy car while this is being resolved;

(b) see if you can at least agree with Hoffman on who in the area runs a
competent machine shop.  If agreeing to that is going to be some kind of
teeth pulling contest, try something like asking them to name three
acceptable shops, you pick the one to do the post mortem on the head, and
supply a recommendation as to what, if anything further should be done to
the block.  Alternatively you give them say three names or business
acceptable to you, & they pick who's to do the work.

(c) agree on a, hopefully, competent third party to put the parts back
together at Hoffman's expense and warrant the work, using (b) above if
necessary.

(d) Have the car, &/or engine taken the to these independent third parties
and have those  shops do the disassembly, machine work, reassembly and
provide the warranty on the finished work.  Finally

(e) agree with Hoffman that you will never darken their service department
door again.

Otherwise, pull in to Hoffman's with your trailer, Paul K in a clown suit
with Pizzo and three or four of his (I'm assuming) swarthy unshaven Italian
dates (just in case you's needs some mussel, or some protection for Paul
while he walks around the dealership with an appropriate message on a large
sign, or perhaps you can so subtle, something like "Service Manager"
stitched in large letters on the back, and over the front pocket of the
clown suit), and a letter from your attorney advising them these are the
steps you are taking; that they can, if they wish, send an observer to watch
the machine shop examine the parts when they are inspected; and/or observe
their  reassembly by a competent shop; and finally that you will be
contacting them in the near future as soon as this is completed with a bill
for the necessary repairs & demand for payment or a suit for damages.
