Sounds like your mechanic likes the band-aid approach. What is "retorquing"
the heads supposed to do? Does it mean that he checked the torque or that he
loosened all the bolts and retightened them? Unfortunately neither of these
would fix a blown head gasket anyway, and putting in an additive is no

No way.Either it will soften the seals or gum up your oil
passages.I think that if he works on it again, I would make him show me
what he was doing to fix it - then I would change oil immediately and find
some place to test it
