Choose door #4 before you get in any deeper than you already are. That's
what I'm about to do.

Well....
  Its time to do something with our trusty engine since the right side
is crying tears of antifreeze.  The way I see it I have 4 choices:
  1.  pay $2K to have a head job done
  2.  pay $4K to buy a factory rebuild and pay to have it installed
  3.  pay $6-10K to switch to another type of engine
  4.  loose $7K by driving it off a cliff

  All things considered (including , and crossing my fingers, I'm about
to have Doug's Bugs in Mesa implement choice #1.  I think it should last
quite some time this way since the bottom end of the engine seems just
fine.  Last minute thoughts??  Madeline
