Sorry to leave you all hanging.
Good call, the shop might also be reading the forum.

I have no issues with the shop, am very happy with them and would still recommend them. I just don't want to say anything that may be taken out of context or potentially damaging to the shop for something that wasn't their fault.

I'm sure it won't help either... but it just seems there has been a rash of failures in cammed cars... and I'm trying to get ahead of any possible problem if its something to be watching for.

I researched my decision a lot and for weeks before doing the work. I didn't read one negative review ( and I read many) about the shop or having this done.

Funny you mention that. I walked out in the garage a few minutes ago it looked so empty.
