Oh man I'm sorry to hear that. I would definitely get a second or third opinion though.

Also, have you checked your engine oil? See any frothy/milky oil? If the head cracked, there might be a coolant leak into the engine oil system- usually you will see this on the dipstick. And also possibly from your tailpipe.

I wonder if this was a result of the engine overheating though. Heads cracking these days is quite rare....usually the head gasket will pop before the head itself. I know that fords used to be notorious for this a while back...

Lets hope that initial pressure reading was just a fluke!
