Whats up dude? You the guy with the white GTP at Mid-America?
Dark Teal GTP right here. Good luck with that. I just changed my valve covers and spark plugs the other day. I can't even dream of the trouble you will have.

wow that was the worst weekend of my life and this week sucks worse...
I'll have more detail later, but I'll just say this...
It would've been worth $600 or 7 to get the damn thing installed

Yeah, but how is it now? Worth it, I assume.

I don't know yet...
The cam is in...but when I went to put the Timing gear back on, I noticed that the little notch where the key fits into is bent!
Well, after hours of searching Auto Parts stores, the last place, (AutoZone) had JUST THE GEAR for $30 or so...so I'll have that tomorrow
Everybody else sold the whole set for like 120...
There's much more, but I gotta get to sleep, peace!
Oh yea, and I can't wait to feel this freakin cam, damn...it better be worth all of the cuts, bruises, sweat, time and work i've put into it!
