Ugh...not what I wanted to hear...
Going to weekend DIY it for sure. $3k aint happen, that's for sure. Have a buddy with a nice home shop (SnapOn dealer so he's got all the fancy tools that I don't).
Ordering all the gaskets, valve gasket kit, o-rings, etc this weekend with plans to do it next weekend. Going to replace plugs and belts while I'm in there. Next weekend should be fun!
