I bet I can swap the 606 head in less time than it would take me to successfully drill three plugs out. And with a lot less sweat and frustration. I already have all the special tools required for a 606 head swap. I also don't want the down time associated with pulling my head and waiting on the machine shop. I'd rather just buy a good used head and swap it inside of a weekend. The machine shop can repair my old head at their leisure, and then I can resell it.

Even better would be if the dealer has the idiot-proof jigs and doesn't charge an arm and a leg for the service, I can solve this problem with the stroke of a pen. Guess I need to call them for an estimate.
