I'll see the car tomorrow and get the details (for that matter, I'll probably drop by Enrique's shop in the morning and ask him as well). I believe my friend said the heads were warped and had to be...

It's time for new tires for my '81 SD running on its original 14" bundts. I've had some Bridgestones for the last 35k miles, they've been ok, but I'd like to switch over to Michelin. I assumed that...

MR MB Motors is in Reseda, a few minutes away. Highly, highly recommended by me and a bunch of other people. Enrique has done a PPI for me in the past, didn't charge much, saved me from buying a 300D...

Yes and yes, plus some associated work. Enrique didn't think he'd have to do any replaning, i.e. no apparent warping.
