That's about right for prices, the quote for both heads you got is about
what I paid when we redid the  heads. How many miles on the motor?

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!
