It wouldn't take you more than an hour to find out. And while you have it all off you should see if there are KS Alusils on there - which I would be wishing for Mahles more than OK studs - because this is where it's going to cost you.

well despite my hopes for this build, its timeline, and its budget, you are right.
KS Alusils (10 fins per cylinder) and at least 2 borked headstuds.
i knew my ship was sunk before i even got the cover all the way off the car when i could feel that first broken end moving inside the cover. the second was a nice little surprise staring down at me from its lofty perch.
i stopped there. i know what i need to at this point.
