He pretty much rebuilt the heads and replaced a lot of stuff in the heads. All new lifters, one new cam, the body that holds the lifters, new oil pumps. He cleaned everything up put in all new seals and fluids and put it back together.

The clutch was also replaced.

It was quite an extensive parts list that added up pretty quick. The most expensive items were the camshaft and the lifter housing. The one I did not realize until after was the cost of the lifters. I looked at the price per unit and at $60 I moved onto the next thing. Later I realized that there was 24 of them for a total of $1440 when Pelican only charges $22 a piece or around $530 for all of them. Overall the parts were around $6500 and labor was just over $5000. I do not think I got a great deal but I dont think it was too bad either. They towed me back for only $500 instead of around $2500 to hire an other company. My grand total after paying the lovely taxes was hair over $13000

They are a great shop with all the latest gear, he is a Grand-AM GT3 cup car crew chief and mechanic. They did a bunch of little extras and did not cut any corners. The car is running great and I believe it was worth it.
