**Update**

I stopped in again today to see what progress was made. I thought that he paid 11K for the car, he paid 8K, so I was wrong on the price.

The engine is out of the car and the head is off. They were right about dropping the valve seat due to running hot. The valve and piston met and that's where all of the aluminum came from. It's pretty extensive and they have determined that a used motor is going in the car as the labor to rebuild is going to be far too high.
