I might go and pick it up (and pay the fscking $50 inspection and cleaning fee) and see what some other people have to say. I havent seen it after its all been cleaned up etc - I left it all carboned up exactly as I took it off in the hope that he may have been able to read from that what may have caused it to die in the first place so I cant say wether the guy is full of it or not. I have been onto a Z mechanic here who has a few heads that I could get, all are rebuilt. On the other hand, I could just drop another L6 in it and call it a day. Friends and family keep suggesting I sell it, not likely.
