Pick a good shop to re-man your head(s). I had the seat on cylinder 2 go in the 4.7 in my Grand Cherokee, had over 40 hours in the rebuild, not to mention about $2000 and within 100 miles of buttoning it up, a brand new valve the shop put in cylinder 7 broke clean in half - TODAY! Now I gotta take the head back off and see what damage it caused.
At least pushrod heads won't take you the 8 hours it'll take me to get this head off...
