It cost $78 to ship from Ohio to Portland. Could have possibly shipped cheaper w/ another carrier. I could have also hept the cam towers here but I wanted Steve to flush out the sprayer bar etc. Either way, well worth it knowing that they will come back correct the first time. Not to mention all of the awesome free advice from Steve!

Mine are going out to Steve tomorrow. At his suggestion, I cut two pieces of plywood (12x18x1/2) and bolted three heads to each piece with basic nuts and bolts from Ace Hwre. Dropped the 3-head/plywood assembly into boxes sized for plywood dimension, and stacked for all 6 heads in one box- 20x14x12. My barrels, rockers and rods will go in another box, wrapped in lots of bubble wrap to protect the fins. But good suggestion to send the cam towers out to him for cleaning.
