Nice ride. Good luck on the starter job.

I hope you don't park it like that for long, otherwise it won't be nicer for long!!

WELL... got it all done, and the contacts were very bad on this one also:

While WE (Jon done the hard part) were there, I cleaned the throttle body throat, and both VVT Oil control valves. there is one for each head.
