That makes no sense at all. A couple of days work and a Timesert kit and the engine is better than it ever was. Any number of amateurs, with the help of the forum has done the repair themselves and have been more than happy with the results. if you choose to consider yourself some kind of victim, throw your skirts over your head and run, you deserve whatever you get. If you choose to consider it a learning experience and a developement of character you'll come out a winner.

Timeserts in a Northstar is nowhere near as tricky as setting valve clearances in a 1949 flathead Ford V8.
