    Dean's List gets another motor

    Heads went to the shop and found some bent valves. The guides were all drilled out and bronze bushings were pressed in, cheap fix. So we have a Merc Reman that had several problems. So much for Merc quality Heads should be back next week and can start putting it back together.
