Message	I haven't had the heads off yet, wasn't planning on doing so, and don't have access to a borescope tool. Not sure what to do, but I do know if I take the heads off things will get a lot more expensive fast starting with replacing the upper plenum intake gaskets... again. Or do I risk reusing them? New head bolts? Yikes! OverZealous (CT) My General posts (click) My Technical posts (click)
