A question Ed, if you don't mind what did it cost you to rebuild the head. I don't plan on tearing mine down its not leaking but may look into gathering up the parts to have on hand for a rainy day project to put in a better grade of bearings, and then you never know it may crap out tomorrow and need rebuilding.

DA,
I'm guessing it was around $300. You wouldn't need to replace all of the bearings like I did. All of the smaller bearings seemed to be in good shape and there are a lot of them. Hope this helps.
