Are you thinking about selling your home yourself? then
How can it be possible for you to screw a head gasket? You didn’t have the head off the engine. Your not responsible. I think she is full of **it. Go to court and tell your story.
Unless the service performed had caused it,you were not negligent. If the belt that you installed came off,that could potentially have caused the headgasket problem. I would make sure that you provide documentation for the work,and pictures etc! Remember that most judges have no mechanical knowledge.
English please.
