figured as much.

So i guess for the bottom line. Is it worth the $1300 i'd have in it to fix it and put a $2500 price tag on it, or even $2000??

sweet. I'm gonna think it over for a few more days and see if I can't come up with something??

Probably buy it, buy the complete set of gaskets for about $235 and have $1235 In it and sell it for anything above $2K
