Oil was leaking down the rear passenger side onto the trans. Cleaned the engine and saw the head itself was dry but the block soaked with oil.

I would'nt just r&r the gasket but will have it checked out by the machine shop, If I can get it off, just talked to the shop and they don't want to touch it. Mention Mercedes around here and they usually see dollar signs, I was surprised.

What is anyones opinion about using a large ez-out or equivalent in the stripped out bolt head? Am I just asking for trouble?
