I'm pretty sure you can swap heads without dropping the motor. Even then, that's adding significant cost and downtime unless I purchase a separate block, which only increases cost. If

I'm pretty sure you can swap heads without dropping the motor. Even then, that's adding significant cost and downtime unless I purchase a separate block, which only increases cost. If the scope continues to creep, it will never be completed. If I at least get the heads done, there will be data on what that looks like on with just stock bottom end, so no more smoke and mirrors or whatif's. I can enjoy it while I work towards the next goal, and maybe it will motivate companies to look further into the VVEL issue if more guys put their mind, money, and balls into pushing the real unknowns of this motor.
