I hope my cam,springs and push rods are fine from my broken 2002 LQ4!

Damn, that sucks. If it makes you feel any better, I haven't caught crap the last 3 times I have hit the beach. Where do you go on?

Would it be worth the extra $$ to get a L92 heads? On page 6 they talk about the LQ4/LQ9. Check it out.
