Should be under $100 per side. Check for bent valves ( like I said earlier) =)... A friend of mine just went through this last year. It showed up after a head gasket change. The shop missed it. Same problems, though. Gets warm and likes to miss and dump mis-fire codes. Cold and sometimes warm, ran like a top.... Every so often, it would just take a dump.. Sounds like you have done everything except pull the heads...Looks like it is time to. Make sure and get a good head gasket kit like the one from Atlantic British, and new head bolts... _____________________________ 97 Discovery SD-7 156K miles 04 Cadillac CTS 34K miles Good Oil number of posts does not = knowledge (unless it is me) (in reply to cplthomas) Post #: 67

You may have them (98 right?) but, yes, I would make sure they have them, or you may be facing this again in the future.... YOu can re-use the valve cover bolts, but no the heads.. They are stretch bolts. _____________________________ 97 Discovery SD-7 156K miles 04 Cadillac CTS 34K miles Good Oil number of posts does not = knowledge (unless it is me) (in reply to cplthomas) Post #: 69
