I can tell you for a fact and show receipts that to remove and replace the Dilivar studs, exhaust valve guides etc. all things that a "top end" build would require plus the "may as well since you are there" things such as a clutch/pressure plate/throw out bearing WILL run you at least $10k....... 5 years ago.
Any SC that still has Divilar studs are going to go - it's a matter of time, especially the exhaust side (from the heat and the elements).
That's the only place you will find the Dilivar head studs on an SC is the bottom row on the exhaust side. The upper row are steel. |
I can vouch that getting to $5000 in parts and machining isn't too difficult, even if doing the work yourself...
