On buying a used cam I personally wouldn't do it but there are people that buy them.
Did you decide what route you're going Muddflap? Headwork, heads, or no headwork?

I think I'm going to hold off on the heads for now and see how it performs. I'll probably focus on getting a clutch and driveshaft and all that good stuff. Then if I feel like it needs it ill try to get some aftermarket heads.

Did you have fun getting those top bolts on either side of the bumper to get it out?

It does look a million times better. $200 well spent.

I used an air ratchet and a couple extensions . Why play fair when you can cheat!

Ok guys. The CAI sounds completely normal to me, but there is a hiss as he traces the vacuum line off the catch can to the driver's side valve cover. I have no idea what it is. Never heard such a thing. I don't have a catch can either, so I'm not much help on the routing (although it looks right to me). This is MikeMoach's car. Everyone take a whack at it!

Haha I didn't have the tools so I gave it round 1 but if there is a round 2 I left those 2 top bolts out so I'm ahead of the game

Those would have sucked without air tools. Those top bolts are definitely up in there!
