>>>SNIP   The question is
whether a full TDI is necessary or prudent.  Some shops won't perform
the AD prescribed inspection unless a TDI is done as well, as they don't
want the liability. Obviously, cost is a factor, but also the loss of
reliability that seems to come with any major repair.  Things are
finally working perfectly, no more leaks, manifold cracks, temps are
great, oil burn is low.  I hate to mess with this.  What would you do. 

PS: I've got three young children, and a great wife.>>>>SNIP

 

Do your wife and children love you? I think you answered the question yourself...
