Did you take it to the engine re-builder place in Hamilton? He did a damn good job on my vr6 head.

Ya.. Gary. I've heard bad things about his bore jobs. But good things about his head machining.

The head wasn't salvageable... The machine shop couldn't get the "barrels" out of the head without ruining it. Luckily, we have another head... cross your fingers it's not as bad as i think =/
