Wow! If you have the ability to pull the heads get them to a machine shop, you can have them rebuilt. Get yourself a good cam and do an AFM delete. You won't have near $6K into it. Do a search on here as there are several posts about people who have had the same issue and replaced the problem.

Since i assume if I put it back to factory specs I won’t need to do anything with the computer, such as deleting anything or re- learning anything. I’m assuming I can teach disconnect the battery, do all the work, plug the battery back in and start it up?
