Dave, I'm not sure if you're referring to just the head or the complete engine.
If it's the complete engine, I'm in agreement.
However, to rebuild the head with all new valves and valve guides is approximately $600. at Metric. This is not exactly overpriced and the workmanship is top notch. They will also convince you to replace prechambers at a cost of another $300
But, the results that I received were nothing short of outstanding. The SD runs like the proverbial clock.
