Nice. Mechanic will probably charge me $50 for an hour of his time fixing this (it'll take him 30 minutes, but his hourly is so low it's great). He's a great guy - I've seen him fixing up $500 dodge caravans from the late 1800s and replacing oil pans on ferarris. Car's going in for an emissions and inspection anyway, so this is just gravy.

Really like that timesert stuff...a comprehensive kit (for more than one job) seems pretty expensive, but i'd order this for the future honestly next time this comes up. For now, I want my baby on the road....the weather is nice, insurance kicked back in on March 1st (3 months garaged rates), and it's time to start redlining again...
