Also in case your wondering why I don't take it back to him, I moved to texas from Chicago so I cant contact him.
the head with the overheating can and most likely is distorted. the mechanic/repair shop should have had the head checked for these issues.

could also be a crack. compression test is needed if it has bad reading then this will need removal and checked out.

operating the vehicle with a miss will destroy the cat converters..
