Noticed slight overheating but questionable yellow foam in overfill?

I'm glad the dealership is stepping up for you. Can I ask how the exhaust sounded the short time you had it? It looks like it was altered, sort of like a Fister mod.

Man, same here, believe me. It sounds great upon acceleration. While at idle, pretty quite. I've been toying with the idea of doing a muffler by-pass.

When you get a intermix of coolant and oil throughout the engine (not to mention the cooling lines to the radiators), it means the lubricating properties of the oil has been seriously compromised. You may not hear/notice it right away while the car is running, but there is damage being done to the crankshaft bearings, the camshaft bearings etc...

I don't think that something as significant as the head cracking would have no collateral effects on the engine. What's their repair process? JB Weld that bad boy and bolt it back together?

Yes, everything is getting flushed from the lines down the radiators at the front. I'm sure they know what they're doing and just not service the heads not thinking about flushing the whole entire system. Give me a little sign of hope here guys, haha..
