Maybe so, but you still ought to know better. You've been on CoG long enough to know what flies and what doesn't in that forum. It appears the mods agree. Again, I ask you: how did you expect the thread to develop when you started with calling txshurricane out and linking him to racism? If you can't answer that, I suppose you understand my point.

You inferred txshurricane was a racist, calling him out on the first line of the post. No matter whether you think he is or is not, you know the rules in the P&R Forum. No personal attacks. Especially as the OP...what were you thinking writing that? Do you expect the thread to progress in a positive manner that way?

I had a bunch of other stuff done at the same time, so it was part of a bigger bill. It was about $1100-1200 in parts for the valve job, and a lot of labor- not sure if they broke out the labor cost from the other stuff. I'll have a look at the invoice when I have a chance and see if there's a number for just that part of the labor.

(The high labor costs sucked, but, as I'm sure you know, the engine is a cast-iron bastard to work on. Especially with a job like this that basically requires dismantling the entire engine compartment.)

The work was done by the dealer, so it was definitely costing more than an indie shop, but a) it was already at the dealer, b) I was in Detroit at the time, and c) I don't have any local shops that I particularly trust at the moment.

I don't think you need to assume that a big job like that is in your immediate future, unless you've experienced misfires or you feel like the engine is losing power.

Really? I was getting kinda tired of angry Natalie and always liked this album cover. I'll look for something else...

lol, well thanks anyway. I might just have to get a new one too, unfortunately DS3s aren't cheap.

No idea... I was kind of hoping you knew of some places though XD

Since you're the biggest PS3 fan I know, are your triggers acting up? Particularly R2? The spring in mine has seemed to go out. I replaced it with one from my old SIXAXIS and it's stiff, but at least it works now. Unfortunately the SIXAXIS is completely useless as I lost some pieces to it in the disassembly x_x Should I see about getting it repaired somewhere?

There is no Rhyme to the Reason of why I am wishing YOU a merry Christmas specifically, but here I am. Merry Christmas!

That's life...

I just like CoG more than anybody else. ^_^
