[QUOTE="tygersquirt, post: 439854, member: 20917"] Not sure if you've taken it to the shop yet, but all you really [I]need [/I]them to do is deck the head. I just did a full rebuild on my 4.0. The head is super easy to disassemble and rebuild yourself. Plus it will save you money in the long run. All of the tools you need for the head can be bought for cheap at harbor freight or auto store. The "specialty" tools I needed were a spring compressor and a valve suction cup/grinding compound. As long as you springs are in spec you can re use them, as well as your valves. Just ensure to keep them in order as they are paired to that specific valve hole. Even the keeper guides can be re used. If you take just the head to get cleaned and decked it shouldn't cost you more than $100. I can link you to a youtube video that literally goes over step by step for a 4.0 rebuild. Shoot me a message anytime. [/QUOTE]
