D3's.

Napa guys popped off a couple of the valves and they said they have basically been redone and that the whole thing is clean.

Cool, If Napa says they are good, I'd say they are good.

I agree. That is their business so if you can trust them and they say they're ok. Then I would also say so.
I know some of the NAPAs around my parts are reputiple.

Called NAPA today and they said they got the sleeve cut out and got the new one in or fixing to get it in. Guy said there was a crack in the block for isn't for sure because he didn't work on it. He told me the guy that worked on it said everything should be fine and for me to call back Monday.

I need to start ordering parts!! JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO GET YET!!!
