the parts don't cost that much ... that has to be parts and labor for the job at a dealer. a local guy did his own 84 bus and all his parts came to only about $240 (not from the dealer, though).

it's probably too late for that. just pray you don't have metal eroded away on the heads ... cause then you'll have to replace them and they are very expensive. :( joel
