Hi Matt, Then would it ruin the cam bearing journals? how about the cam? Has anyone done a study on the average extent of the damage done throughout a whole motor by the time it seizes?

Avarec, what would a good price be for the 5-speed? He said he'd sell me the head complete (the non-clunker one) for $150. I'm guessing the tranny would be about the same. [edited to clarify] So, you think the measurement from the bolt-up face of the motor to the end of the output shaft are the same? (the overall lengths of the trannies are the same?)
