hey all,

I'm a happy boy, my heads are on, my engine's full of beverages and it's
not leaking!!!

Last night I finally finished up all the engine work involved in the
head and gasket replacement with only one delay, the thermostat housing
gasket (new) leaked at the head, but I used some of the German black goo
that was left over from the head gaskets and sealed it up.

Someone asked me to post what this job cost me, here goes:

$150 - gaskets, nuts, bolts
$ 30 - Oil cooler hoses
$800 - New Heads
$50 - Fluids, filter (synthetic oil)

I did pay for overnight shipping so shipping is not included.
