RE: Dummy Guide
i can sell you a spare valve cover from my eclipse (i painted a new one) for 25 bucks plus shipping. transmission is expensive no matter what you are doing, i'd do something to rig it and then sell it, fast. you won't get anymore than 3k out of it if somebody knows there's a trani problem. as for the valves... head work isn't cheap either. why did you buy this car for 5k with these problems? for the vavles and trani i'd say close to 2k to fix both... at a shop.

you got ripped... the most somebody should pay for a good running gs is 5000-5500. you have tapping valves, dropped compression in one cylinder, and trani problem??? dude. for a tapping valve... i don't know if you can rig that... think about it lol

RE: Dummy Guide
I thought about running straight pipes on it to drown out the tapping!lol
I think that I'm going to just fix the valves. I might consider buying that valve cover if I dont go to the junk yard soon. Did you say it was painted? If it isI might be able to sucker someone easier.lol. I'm assuming there is nothing wrong with it.
I don't need a "dummy guide" anymore. I don't even know why I asked in the first place. I guess it just seemed like you guys were more knowledgeable to me.

there is nothing wrong with it. No, this one is not painted, this is the one i took off my eclipse and painted another one. it's not warped or anything. i'll take pic or 2 of it if you want... but it's nothing to see lol looks just like the one sitting on your head.

RE: Dummy Guide
are you refering to the parts needed to fix your car? trani, valve cover, and new valves? eek well if you do all of the work yourself you are looking at betweeen 500 and 1000 for a new trani, valve cover you can get from me cheap, new OEM valves are relatively cheap but the labor will be a bitch... you'll have to pull the head, remove your axels, drop your trani... not fun. there is a trani on ebay right now for sale w/ 6 days and 13 hrs left. send a pm to him if you'd like.
