I'm really curious as to what the dealership would do with this situation. They must have encountered it before............

It's called 'give me your credit card'.

Roy mentioned that Chrysler has a $2K kit for this situation. It's highly unlikely that the dealership would purchase it.

I wouldn't risk this with a dealer. Apparently, if you fail, you must remove the entire engine from this vehicle. Getting the head off while the engine is installed isn't an option.
