No kidding, dropped a valve... Can be fixed, depending on who you get and how much you want to "drop" on the repairs. I'd shop around for bids on the repair, as well as the reputation of the builder. You don't want someone who will take your money and make LOOK right, you need someone who can make it WORK right. A good inspection of the head may show other problems that in total, would make a different head to re-build a better option for you.
Len Hoffman at H.A.M. is well known around here. Perhaps he'll chime in, although he stays plenty busy with the shop and is not always online. |
