So, if you are protested on something where just the head comes off, and it
has to come off at the event in order to adjudicate the protest, what do we do?
Fly in "your guy" at the protestor's expense? Any competent shop can take
that head off and re-assemble it at the flat rate amount. That part isn't
rocket science. A complete engine teardown? That's obviously more money...
