The differences between the 2.3l in the 9000 and the 2.0 or 2.1 in a C900 are minimal. If the shop can't work on a 9000 engine, find another shop.
When a head warps, it doesn't always leak externally. You are probably pushing coolant into the cylinders where it's burned. Expect to see white mist from the exhaust even when the car is warm.
First, find a better shop. A shop that can only tell if a head is warped is by seeing if it's leaking externally isn't competent. A competent shop should be able to pressure test the cooling system.
My guess - running a car for 40 miles with no water pump is a 'very probable' on warping the head.
