I just got a email from Len Hoffman today. He is focused on producing new Heads, not rebuilding used ones anymore (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Every time i do a search, it always leads to LEN. Who can I send my 2.0 heads to now?? I need to get on this 2056 build.

any other recomendations???
