oh and the total for the first round of doing the full timing job fuel rail, FPR, and cam gears was only 1780. then i found out the head was warped... tack on another 1200 in parts and labor...

how do all of these parts get fucking warped? it pisses me off. you would think thye could do a better job of gettin some heat out from under the hood

Im with you on that one, but when they run hot they run with alot more power.
