Yep

It's either a K8, or I think it could be a 2.0L KF. If i remember right a KF uses K8 heads...but regardless, it ain't no ZE, or even a KL for that matter

Post a link saying what they did on every forum you can find for all makes and models and then email them links to the posts saying you will remove them if they fix the problem.

Well, it could be an honest mistake. :p

Tell them the problem, if they seem to be a--holes about it, THEN blackmail them.
