Message	the difference betwen the mild head refresh/work and a full longblock build is over $3k. The engine has just over 50k original miles on it, so I'm assuming/hoping it's still good for a while. I'm really only removing the heads to replace a bad valve seal(s), unfortunately. So I decided I'd just have them freshened up. If it so happens that the shortblock takes a crap in a few years, I'm only out the cost of head gaskets, head bolts and some miscelaneous bits and pieces. I will have no problem pulling the thing myself, so it's just a matter of my time. If I could afford to build the whole thing, believe me, I would. I knew there would be a lot of stuff to replace/mod on this car (everything in my profile was done in <1.5 years). However, I did NOT plan on having to replace internals this early. So, we'll see what happens in the next few weeks. You never know. "done"? BAHAHAHAHAH ... it's never "done" ...."
