Good call, what did they charge?

Nothing. Owner is a good guy and had a shop FULL of stuff. He stopped what he was doing just to check them. I'll definitely go back if I have any other issues down the line.

That's a good mechanic right there.

I had a few 'left over' gaskets and what not that you are describing as well.
I threw them in a small storage container and will keep them 'just in case'.

Good move on the heads - I did the same thing and had them both checked out (for $60) and I can rest at night knowing that they are good and they will be one of the last things to go on the car now.
