I can handle little things like slave cylinders and such, but when it comes to taking the head off of the car Im still a little scared. Thanks again.
Don't you have another car? I've reached the point where I just say "screw it" and dive into pretty much anything even if I don't think I can do it. Got the clutch done this way. On the other hand that probably was a source of some of the problems I'm having now. If I had another car to drive I wouldn't care at all, though. As it is if I can figure out a way of getting around locally without my car I don't really care, I'm thinking about getting a motorcycle, great on gas and relatively cheap for a used ninja 250. As for the car, if you do the repair and it doesn't turn out right, and then you can't figure out what is wrong with it afterward, at that point you should get help from somebody who actually knows what they're doing. (like I'm about to do
