Dude. The valve cover fire is a crock of B.S., you know this right. Its just a cheaper and easier fix than the real problem, the fuel injector o-rings.

lol, I already have, Chico. K&N intake, ZZP PCM, HV TB, 180* T-stat are the engine mods so far. I was going to spend part of the refund on a downpipe and GMPP handling kit, but since I was paying $200 a month on my car, then in two months, I'll have that money anyway.

Congratulations!
Next time we meet for lunch or something, remind me about your key issue. I can diagnose it in 5-10minutes max. I might even have the fix for it in the garage.

Will do. Thanks Slick! It's USUALLY just a minor issue. Bang on the gear shift a couple times, and it comes out. Every once in a while, though, it'll get stuck in there and won't come out, every time I turn off the engine, for like a week. THAT is when it gets really frustrating. lol

Mine did that for a couple of days, shortly after I bought it. I was broke so I waited, and it never came back. Its been about 2 years and never happened again.

I find the valve cover to be more of a PITA. (removing the belt and CP bracket) Plus the part is more expensive than the actual rubber o-rings.

Yet in doing so the "Techs" dont have to unplug really anything, or worry about anything else connected to the main source. There fore they dont have to worry about breaking injectors/fuel lines/plugs, and ripping wires out.

I've got a couple lights mods in it, but I plan on having a 3.4 pulley (with supporting mods, of course) by summer's end (all I need is a dp, tuner, and the pulley) and I hope to have completely redone the suspension by September. She needs it, the suspension isn't very good. However, I still need to do the research on that to decide what I want to do.
