Funny how he changed the oil & coolant every 2500 miles but never drove the motor more than 15 miles. :screwy:
Did you pay by check? Did you try everything you could and report this person? I know from living in PA that you can file at a District Justice office for $100 and it will always be apointed back to you. Then if he doesnt show up he'll go to jail until he forks over the $$. I know it's irrelevant to this thread, just wondering...
Edit: Nevermind, I just read alot of it...

You live in L.A, right? There's a place called LA machine shop on Venice near Centinela. They're nice guys and have great prices. They grinded a flywheel for me and cleaned my d16 head before I sold it. (310) 390-7507. It's a stone's throw from where I work. Roll through and we'll walk over to Mitsuwa and have JDM lunch

update.........
so my mechanic 3 or 4 weeks ago sent the head to get machined.....
2 of the valves are bent and hes been trying to find the replacement for them
but he cant..... because aparantly everthing on the head is aftermarket and he doesnt know what valves to get......
normaly that would be a good thing having everything aftermarket, but in this case kind of realy fucks me over.
no car for 4 weeks FTL
