i got my engine rebuilt about 6 months ago , and it just started to leak antifreeze into the oil. took it back to the guy who built the engine and he says the intake was leaking (which he put on and the engine had a 2 year warrenty) , then he says its caused by not having the heads grounded to the firewall(my fault) and that its a big problem with camaros ... 88 iroc 305 tpi , 320 $$ to fix .
now im not stupid but what does an electrical connection have to do with a gasket making a seal with the engine ? , this guy just doesnt want to say he F'd up or what ? . what can i do if he is full of it?

Absolutly nothing. He is just trying to get out of fixing it for free. Even if he was telling you the truth.The heads are bolted to the block. The block should be grounded somewhere. If anything you would have trouble with electrical components. He is lying out his a$$. Get a lawer involved or threaten to. The gaskets he used were probably not new. He is trying to scam you.
