Repair or Swap?
I have an 82 L-type with an 8 year old 5M. I love her and I got her for real cheap... Really cheap, so I wanna do some work on her. The thing is, I'm not a mechanic. In time, I'd like to be the one under the hood, but for now I could use some suggestions on good shops to do the work.
The big issue right now is oil... I think. The bottom of the engine is fairly mucky and the inside of the engine compartment is pretty dirty. The guy who helped me with my starter keeps telling me if I don't get my seals and valves done, she's gonna lock up on me. I heard the would be about 5-6 hundred to fix if I do it before she gives out. How much would it be just go ahead and get a new 5m, or 7m dropped in? Any imput would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx
