What do you think of these price quotes from my local parts guy for my 1.9L
wbx
all German
new oem heads---$365 ea
head set: $59
valve cover gasket $1
W7DTC Bosch spark plugs $3.50......plus 4's = $5
7mm FI hose  $6 meter
vacuum hose $3 M

Compression is down to 60 lbs on cyl #3, cyl #1 is 100, #2 is 150, #4 is
135lbs
Hopefully I'll find a broken valve spring when I remove the valve cover and
all I'll have to buy is a new spring, otherwise
time to get deep into the motor and my pocket
