Thank you gentlemen. Shop recommended Billet and was very open book about what they were doing. Will be going down this route. Thank you all for the advice it was very helpful and I will be following up with how everything goes from here.
Looking like my friend is going down the path of the rebuild. Does $4800 sound reasonable?
