I am in the final stages of putting my car back together again after a spun rod bearing, a dead fuel pump, and now 4 bent valves. I'm hoping my 9 month bad-luck streak will end this week or early next when I finish putting that bitch back together and turn the key.
Just a piece of friendly advice... if you pull the head, put the intake on BEFORE you drop the head on... it's a major bitch to get that thing bolted back up.
