Lol there were a few typos; sorry to not proofread.

HG = head gasket.

Read lots on the 3.5. Seems that hg may play in to some rod bend theories. Jury will be out forever.

As noted, if there’s any issues long term with the 3.5, frankly I’m expecting and costed it in to the overall economics of the purchase.

Doing a HG I see as a learning opportunity that may pay dividends.... if I diy for relative low cost and learn a ton.
