Message	When something goes wrong...its not all that expensive to fix (if you do the labor). In this case.. the valve and rod from the dealership was about $20...and the headgasket and bolts were about $60 total. Then the machining is $15. Pulling the heads was very easy. Very straight forward. And for what this couldve been...it was pretty cheap. So thats why i seem to be so nonchalont (sp?) about it all.... :0)
