It depends on the cost and if you need a spare head. |

Cam for sure. Grab it soon. Like tomorrow morning. Someone in WA likes to decapitate all the metros I have seen. Don't live there anymore, but when I visit my folks and we hit the PnP in Lynnwood and Arlington. If you don't have a use for the whole head no need for the whole thing. Cam swap is super easy. |

Got the whole head, went back because I had to come home for my breaker bar. Last time I took a head off my ratched broke. So I got there just in time to hear "were closing in 30 minutes". DONE!!!! I hear ya about someone here in Wa butchering the cars. Lately at the arlington lot I would go in and look for cars that had been there a couple days and the whole engine and tranny were gone. Its like someone has an inside source there. I grabbed the whole head because it is the first one I have seen that was in great shape. It was also the first XFI I have seen there in over a year. |

Geo Jeff does a lot of metro rebuilds up there. His craigslist ads are plentiful. |

ECU is worthless, transmission is the majik part. |

Have you dealt with him? I'm about to buy a rebuilt trans from him and I'd like to know if he does a good job. I don't want to mess around with anymore used transmissions with bad synchros. |
