just keep that in mind...
ouch, no horror stories here..but it could be cuz i've always gone to a pro mechanic if i didn't know what i was doing, it leaves you with someone to blame other than a friend...i was looking into port/polish/bore for the gsr head i used to have *long story* and it was looking more like 700-1000 for a deal ... then again...i coulda been getting ripped off....doesn't matter really...never got it done
