My point is,
I would like to have some of the stuff that you are smoking
seems pretty strong
anyways, peace out
don't want to hurt your e-feelings
and don't want you to hurt mine
you wrote MB a letter
is there anything to share?
Thats why we are all here

That explains alot about your state of mind
We are not here to share
Apparently people are here to moan & gripe
You will have better results dealing with MB CONFIDENTIALLY
I have 0 concern over the 'issue' because I know I will make it work out
Silly to fret and fritter away time over things like this
Diminished enjoyment of the investment over something that has infintesimal odds of happening
Silly

I'll take a shot at this before the usual suspect(s) weigh in. I've only mentioned this to three people on the forum but I will state for the record (and I have it in writing) that there are many more cases than seen here. At the appropriate time I'll be able to make the source and number public but for now, I can't. When I say "many more" though, my extrapolated wild guess is overall, perhaps at a maximum 1-2% to date have experienced head bolt failure, but that is just my guess. That's a lot of cars but the odds are still very much in your favor that it won't happen. I've chosen to pre-emptively replace the head bolts later this year, based strictly on how I use my car but YMMV. That's it. I'm not getting into a pissing match over a figure no one knows but I'm confident I now know as much or more about what that number might be than anyone I've seen post here. And FWIW don't expect the average dealer to talk about this. Even with my dealer (customer) and SA (friend) "mum's the word" is now SOP.
