Really, I'm liking it. My kids are still young, I wasn't around as much when they were weebies, so I think I'll enjoy that for a bit. Ill be 48 this year, so I could get back into something, but not what I was doing. I don't know..

Just keep an eye on the valve cover gaskets, they will eventually leak down on the front of the exhaust manifold and burn oil off, wont actually drip to the ground. I doubt your dad drove it hard, but take a look at the engine mounts too.
I was pretty sure it was the DOHC, just didn't want to lie to ya. It moves pretty good.

I'll take a look at those things this weekend, thanks!

Was told today, that if I work on my days off which is Friday-Sunday, I will get paid $3.00 more an hour. So, I chose to work Friday and Saturday. That would put me right at $52 and hour. CHA CHING!!!!!
