Terry,

Thanks a bunch. Looks straight forward. I have a machine shop that resurfaces heads with cams in place. No need to take them off - looks like removing the cams took a lot of effort in Wayne's repair / write up.

I will check the parts prices and see if it makes sense to get into this (buying a car with a blown head gasket). I have not had a car project for a long time and I am itching to do some wrenching past the usual brake pad and oil changes. These cars are hitting rock bottom in running condition, so they can be had for a song if the head gasket is out.
