Mine only needed rebuilding for things one would expect, with the one exception of the TB gasket. He said car ran before pulling the head. (I put a new one on just because.) When I put it all together, it was dumping coolant into the cylinders. Turned our to be that silicone lined TB gasket. No way it ran before, aI never took the TB off the intake. Not a huge deal in the end, but boy was I freaked on first start-up when it started pumping all that white smoke out the exhaust... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />
