Well being stubborn as I always am ;p I decided that I would rather keep my $300 and spend my days off doing the head swap myself
10~ Hours work and some mashed fingers and I got the job done! Ive never done one before so there was a bit of a learning curve!
The only problems I encountered was:
* Setting the timing, had to learn that too...
* Putting the damn spark plug leads on in the wrong order ;p
* Loosing one bolt after everything was working! And it was from the damn bonnet hinge of all things!
And in the end all it cost was $90 for gasket set, $35 for an oil filter and 6lt of oil and $30 for a 2nd hand head that had been smoothed on the bottom!
Damn thing runs better than ever now! Nice and tail happy on gravel roads again...
