Amen to that... it's so very true. Not only that, but it always seems all the good stuff comes up that you could have taken your Mustang to (shows, races, etc) when it's out of commission too. Ahhh, such is life I guess...

Regardless, I am in the same boat as you actually. I seriously over revved my engine accidentally during the NMRA World finals last fall (probably to 10,000+ RPM) and I bent ALL the valves in my engine. Every cylinder pumps zero except number 6, which only pumps 90 psi. OOOPS. So, with the weather quickly warming up I am about to start ripping the motor out, and down, to change out all the valves, check the rest of the heads over, check the bearings.. etc... and set everything back up for the season.
