On another note, just checked my oil. Damn car hasn't used a drop of oil in 1500 miles, it's EXACTLY the same... I guess no new engine for me...

Because it comes down to money, and why waste a long block, when a short block will do the trick?

Labor nigh offset it. Also, a service department is not the best environment to rip the whole thing apart in. There is also the caveat that the dealership employees don't have the hands on that the original builders do, etc.

Price difference on a short block vs. long block is probably much more than the few hundred bucks it'd cost to transfer heads and intake manifold over to the short block.

You're basing your argument off of "maybe"'s. MAYBE his top end has damage. MAYBE they decide to hand a head swap over to some inexperienced twit in the service department.

Or maybe, it'll just all go well.
