Thanks for the break down. Your right, I have a solid car just needs tweaking. One more thing, is 17,000 mile on the motor to high do do a head job. I would hate to start chasing motor repairs.
No 17,000 miles isn't too high do do a head swap. Their really isn't a set number. You can swap heads whenever you want, some consider it kinda pointless if your dealing with a 100,000+ mile motor because the bottom end is still worn out or close too it, but if the motor has good compression in all the cylinders why not.
