after changing water pump and gasket due overheat help plz

I just get overheat 2 weeks back . After I take car to workshop they said that I have to change water pump, thermostat and head gasket (they check head pressure and they said its fine no need to replace)
3 days after I take car from workshop I experienced overhead again up to 50% as my car is GCC spec and normally gauge is on second line from down. But this time it was little crazy
the gauge was going up and down so fast like with seconds down and again up
I send the car to workshop again and after three days they said everything is fine and no problem is there
I take car and everything was normal till 3 day
Temp gauge again goes up till 50% . I switch of the car for 2hrs and start again and drive it gauge again go’s up but this time up to 75% I just pull over but I heard something like poooof (it was like noise if water flow or steam ) after that noise gauge come down within 1 second to normal level
I drive car again (I have video below from this moment) till car stop moving  and no more starting

watch below link please



I open de hood and saw there is housing pipe which go from engine side to body ( sorry I don’t know what is exactly name of that pipe ) it’s totally cut/broken from middle
I take car to same workshop when they open the engine. First they mechanic guy was totally impressed for broken pipe he said to me this pipe is so heavy duty and he never saw before like this
Anyway after 2 days they said to me that cylinder block has to be changed because of damage (ref to below pics )

I doubt your injectors had anything to do with that, but what did cause it? Not much chance of getting anything from that shop it would be too hard to prove any fault. It sucks but you need a new motor

Your cheapest solution would likely be to buy a used fully assembled engine.

It was probably a head gasket all along...too bad you have a dumbass mechanic...

And I doubt you'll find any conclusive proof at this point...I would just cut your losses and at least find a better shop to install your next negine...

Good luck with that you cant prove anything they did caused the engine to fail. What did they do to blow your engine? If you dont know how can you blame them? I have seen many instances of shops negligence causing failures and the shop still refuses to pay even in court you will have a hard time proving what they did directly resulted in your engine blowing up. I took my wives running car into shop to get a new water pump and timing belt we had to tow it away the shop set the timing wrong causing all of the valves to bend....I got nothing in return no compensation what so ever. They said it was damaged before it came to them I said we drove it to your shop and had to tow it out it could not be proven without a doubt they damaged it. Your deal it not near as cut and dried because you were driving your car they can claim abuse or negligence on your part. You had issues before you took the car to them they can say it may have been damaged prior to them even looking at it


I guess try it but dont hold your breath because your chances are slim, I am just being honest weather it is what you want to hear or not.
