Not necessarily. Engine assemblers make, what....#35/hr? (calculations way higher than that are padded with executive and retiree "labor" expenses). Dealer shop rates are near $300/hr. In the time it takes dealer mechanics to swap out two cylinder heads, the factory could likely assemble two engines.
Not say you're wrong but if it were cheaper to swap out the heads then they'd probably do that.
