Well, heres more of the story to answer some questions. I just had the heads done. I purchased the car in July and have no intentions of selling it. I'm hoping to find a fix that does not involve pulling the head again as that is such a joy to do solo, especially since I have the cam towers and cam installed already.

If anyone knows a way to do this without pulling the head I'm all ears otherwise I suppose I'll be ordering a thread repair kit and head gasket this week and I know what I'll be doing next weekend.

Thanks for the advice!
