just wanting to know what to expect to be charged to have my heads swapped out. I would do it myself but I lack time tools and space.

that depends on how much you trust them, if space is the main problem me and a buddy just did a complete motor swap in his TA in a storage shed, just went there when we had time since you pay my the month you have an entire month to do a days worth of work.

you'd be surprised to see some people would do this for little or nothing as long as there isn't a time contraint. ask a few guys you know and definitely trust to do the work and know what they are doing.

friends of mine helped me with a stall, cuz i didn't know what i was doing...the least i could do is give him my old stall cuz he needed it and i offered more, but sometimes people just want to help out. which was great, cuz it was a learning experience for me and then i didn't have to pay out the *** for labor
