No problem man. If the compression check comes back with bad results, check out the head swap write-up on ls1howto.com

It has a complete walkthrough on how to pull the heads, and re-install them. The job really isnt all that bad, and you would save an *** load of money doing it yourself.

Cost and heads etc depend on what you want and if you are doing the work. You can just replace the broken parts and that is it. When you get the compression check have them test drive it also if they will. Let us know what they find, I'm curious.

TSP has some very good prices on Head/Cam packages for around $1500. Their heads flow very well, and they can help you match a cam with your head selection, and overall goals for the car.

I believe that package includes fully assembled heads, cam of your choice, hardened PR, and valve springs.
