Does extended warranty cover head bolt issue?

Im close to buying an extended warranty either through fidelity or safeguard for my 2010 c63 amg. I just got off the phone with fidelity and they told me that if I purchased a powertrain coverage and experienced a headbolt failure, the issue would not be covered.

Has anyone had a headbolt failure covered by their warranty? If so what company do you have and what plan?

How much is this warranty? Why wouldn't a power train cover the engine, that's the whole point isn't it?

If you're worried about the head bolts, take the money and have them switched out with the revised ones. Then you never have to worry again.

That doesn't even make sense. How can they sell you a powertrain warranty and not cover the powertrain??

Yeah, lame. I guess they are explicitly excluding the headbolt repair due to cost.
