just a little fyi... was going to take my heads into temple machine. change of plans... after talking with craig at kenn garff mitsu service he knew temples well, and glossed them pretty good. but he recommended that i take them to gordon johnson machine in bountiful. talked with dude this morning, felt good about it... he seemed very much the straight shooter <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />. rare in the wrenchin world. got quoted $225 for the job plus parts... he even has the gaskets on hand! when i talked to him about it, he seems very knowledgable on the stem/guide issue... turn around time is a couple of days. at least my monty will be able to kick the smoking habit <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />.
