I was actually falling asleep thinking just this last night. My only concern is that if cylinders were out of round or if there were any other issues, I'd be in for a full top-end rebuild and, as mentioned earlier in the thread, no shop would want me dropping off a box of parts. Also, I hear that top-end reassembly can be quick tricky on these things and I'm not sure I'm yet willing to take that risk.
