OH NO! now I have to put in my 
my make things harder! you'll need to drain the water out too. there! that's not so bad is it?
by the way, I have NO idea what you mean by "replace the top of the block" do you maybe mean resurface?
Thanks much to all for the replies.
The 2 options from the shop were...
1 - r&r camshaft with aftermarket camshaft and 2 rocker arms (would not 'warrantee this option), or
2 - r&r head/gaskets with head gasket set, complete new head/camshaft/rockers/tstat/plugs, etc
'2' sounds like a new engine (top half).
Is there a place I could look at a picture of this engine without buying a manual?
What is the risk in option '1' vs '2'?
Seems like option '1' might involve some subsequent valve adjustment to get things in sync with the new camshaft... and should all the rockers be replaces or only the 2 'bad' ones?
I assume the coolant comes out because the head is being loosened and it would leak out at the head gasket?
Is there a chance the head gasket would need to be replaced?
As I said in the beginning, you can guess Im not that knowledgeable... but its becoming clearer.
Thanks again.
