well I talked to him this morning and he said that the guy that did the previous work can rebuild the whole motor for 600$ that is a complete rebuild kit of some online web page he did not know the sites name when I asked him or it might be coming from ebay not sure

then the guy is going to have the block re milled I hope.
to have the head re done is 175$.
the guy is going to rebuild the whole motor for 200$ in labor.

word to the wise if you have a leaking exhaust do not put larger bolts in with out re tapping them first.
that is the one thing this guy did not do.

right now I am trying to get my buddy to bring over his truck tonight and take off all of the pulleys and brackets so we can find the leak before he pays this guy more money to fix his truck.
who knows it might just be a cracked timing cover or front main seal...
fingers crossed
