I had mine done about 6k miles ago. It runs like a champ now. Gas mileage and horse power are up and no ticking noise. You'll be happy.

I sure hope so. Can't get over 15.5 mpg combined and I baby the heck out of this thing. Power is okay as I don't get to use it much. It's still new and needs some definite mods before I decide to wheel it hard

Went to the dealer today and got a shot of the jeep being disassembled. Never thought I'd be so happy seeing it tore down. Should have it back tomorrow morning.

15.5 MPG is about average for a JK running 35''s. I'm about 17.5 highway and about 14 city. I was down to about 12 average before they did the head replacement.

Got the jeep back today. No more tick thank goodness. Drives like it should and seems to have a slight increase in power. Hopefully this is the last of that issue. Service guys were super helpful. I don't think I've ever had such genuine service at a dealership before.
