No offense to you, Dennis, but I have seen their shop and their work and I am not impressed. The best set of rebuilt heads they could find in their inventory were only barely acceptable to me. Most of them had incredibly sloppy welding and helicoils all over the place. The last thing you want to happen when you are driving in Saskatchewan (sp?) 200 miles from the nearest repair shop is for a spark plug to pop out of the head. Of course, this doesn't matter if you have a _warranty_, right? Cause you can just call GEX up on the phone and they will send a tow truck out, tow your bus in, replace the heads, tow it back, and buy you dinner, right? GEX may have been a reputable source of rebuilt parts in the past, but I would be VERY careful about buying anything from them today. Check what you get very carefully. -David ============================================================================ David Schwarze '73 VW Safare Custom Camper (Da Boat) San Diego, California, USA '73 Capri GT 2800 (Da Beast) e-mail: des@teleport.com '87 Mustang Lx 5.0 (14.17@99.34) http://www.teleport.com/~des '93 Weber WG-50 (Da Piano) ============================================================================
