what does that mean, it’s unclear - they are buying you a new head and my guess new valves/valtrain - etc.

are they still splitting cases ?

Replacing rings ?
No they involved, just me. And just head. Look at section 15 in the service manual at what all has to take place to replace the pistons and rings. Then ya'll tell me if you think the 16 is a throw away motor. I think it is. I'll never buy another S x S with the transmission case and cylinders a one piece unit. Go look at section 15.

so are they replacing pistons\rings?

did they fix the wallowed valve issue, whatever that means? does that mean the valve guide was screwed up, etc.?
