Possible head machining

Hey everyone,

I've got a quick question. Has anyone ever had the heads on their Windstars rebuilt? My wife's 01 has over 200k miles on it and its developed a bit of a light stumble under a moderate load. It also stumbles if you first start it...until you give it gas, and then it smoothes out and idles.

Additionally, I have been burning more and more oil over the last year or so and I thought I thought it might have been the valve stem seals. I've replaced them and still get black crust on the spark plugs.

So my next step will be to have the heads rebuilt and I was wondering if anyone could give an approximate cost. I'd remove the heads myself and just have them rebuilt.

Sincerely,

Mark

p.s BTW, its a 3.8l
