Two things; replacing the 5 coils is not MAJOR, each coil costs about $50-60 and takes a 10mm wrench to remove. These must be taken off to replace the spark plugs, that is how easy it is.
The VIN for the 1998 GLT is not correct.

There is an outfit that reconditions heads, new valves, seals, seats, etc. for about $750:

I have never used them as they are too expensive for me. A local machine shop can usually do it for much less.

Contact Erievovo.com (there is no "L") for a comparable price for a 1999 XC engine. You will be surprised! Your outfit is just outrageous.
