[QUOTE="Greg, post: 57764, member: 761"] Just a suggestion. Buy the parts and do the maintenance yourself. Get a good shop manual for it and seek a knowledgeable friend for help. Either way....Take it from me, you don't want that to [b]EVER[/b] break on you. It happened on mine and I had to have the entire head rebuilt...the pistons and valves came into contact...bad news. My old man was a GM master-tech for years and years. His old mantra was "pay me now, or pay me more later". There's a lot of truth to that saying. Don't ignore preventative maintenance. It [i]can[/i] cost you [u]more[/u] in the long run. Just my $.02...I'm not into gambling. [/QUOTE]
