Hallelujah, brothers! I am "healed".
Cams were welded on 7/31. The peace of mind on my drive back was worth the price of the job alone.
If there is anyone in California or Nevada who needs cams welded, I have the dynamic duo for you. Russ & Chris of Placerville CA (near Sacramento). I believe I was the 16th or 17th weld job for these two, and I was impressed beyond belief by their effeciency and precision. My 6+ hour drive from SoCal was easily worth it. They've got most of the next two months booked with jobs, so the word is out, and they'll probably raise their fee soon. It was a steal at $700 (not counting parts) for me. Got everything cleaned, new plugs, gaskets, coils switched, oil change, and the Silverstreak purred like a kitten after the job was done. Not a hiccup, burp, or sneeze. Even the enigmatic idle surge I'd experienced disappeared after the job. I supposed all the work jogged the correct electronic brain cells of the car to fix it.
Special thanks to Chris Kepus for setting me up with Russ & Chris, and the guys here for pointing me in the right direction.
Next step: exhaust & mufflers!
