Subject:Help! Head replacement cost.

Hi all,

I have been leakin' now for a couple of years, and the power level has been decreasing very steadily lately.  I figure it is time to change out that 3/4 head.  I want to get a Tiico, but don't have the funds for that as of yet.  Bug Werks has quoted me 1100.00 to redue the one side, including a new head, and 1700.00-1800.00 to do them both.  I  am having sticker shock, and I was wondering what the general dollar amount would be out here on the West Coast.  (Oregon to be specific) Would I be better off going to some place in Portland?  Yikes!  I feel I need to take care of this in the next week or so.  I have several camping trips that are calling me before I have this baby!  (3rd in tow, due mid October)  I AM mechanically inclined, but am just learning the little stuff, so doing it myself is a little daunting.  

Thanks everyone!
