Hi again,
I did the disassembly and reassembly myself as well as all seals, belt,etc. in the driveway. Mr. Foster from the board recommended a machine shop here in Ma. that did the actual headwork. It went very smoothly and fairly quickly with no problems. However my 745t is in very good condition with a clean engine bay that looked as if it were very well maintained which could have been part of why it did go so smoothly.
I was very lucky with the exhaust manifold studs...all came out easily except for one which stayed in the head throughout the machining process. I was able to work the head back on with a little prying to get this one stud back through the exhaust manifold.
I wouldn't hesitate to do this job again(hopefully not on this car) if the need arose.


Dan


p.s. the head bolts were no problem at all to remove
