N62 blue smoke/coolant pipe repairs

Hi folks.
I haven't been on the forum in a while, changing jobs, building a house from blueprints on, generally super busy... All, while my 4.8iS was slowly but surely developing the blue smoke from the valve stem seals. I kept putting it off for last couple of years, and since I hope to keep the E53 (I am partial to its appearance and stance), I wanted to have that problem repaired.

So I hope that I am not violating the forum rules (I read the rules, and this post is similar to a "For Sale" posts, even though I am not selling anything) by posting this - if so, just let me know, I will remove or reword it.

So, I "bumped" onto a guy who makes "house calls" doing those repairs, using the AGA tools for the valves, and the coolant pipe, for a rather reasonable price. You may have heard of him on this forum, you might have heard of him on other forums.

The reason I am writing this in the first place, just to make it known that I am planning on having him make a "house call" to my place to tackle that particular problem on my car, and if someone else is considering these repairs, you may as well jump on this opportunity, while he is going to be in the DC/Northern VA area.

Since I can't post his contact info on a public forum, just PM me (my PM notifications didn't work, so I will be checking it manually), I will get you his contact info, you talk directly to him about your issues and terms of your deal. Just to put this on a time table, I am thinking about doing this sometime in April/May of 2017, I am in Northern VA, along the I-95 corridor.
