Whichever it is i hope i get car back today or tomorrow

 

Well I called today and they said they were trying to take the headers off :-/ might be done by wednesday or thursday

 

EHhh I was suppose to get the car friday and now the guy said they had to take it to another shop and they will bring it back to the guy i gave it to monday and i prob wont get it till tuesday...

 

Buying a used KA is cheaper than fixing your wore out one. I sold mine for like 50 bucks lol

 

Well im not paying for it...parents are .part of x-mas present.

 

This thread makes my head hurt, valves for christmas. How many miles are on this thing?

 

163,000 with a tan interior! What 240s have a tan interior?

 

My coupe had tan interior, it was pretty nice. 163,000 yeah its probably wearing out pretty good, best of luck with it.

 

I wish I had a tan interior. Why did they have to take it to another shop, unless they ****ed something up. I would be pissed if I were you, its taken them longer than it should have.

 

yoou should have just had ur rents give u the money that the shop is going to screw you out of and do a swap.

 

Well I think they said they took it to another shop cause they didn't the "tools" or something. I still got one more day till i get it back and fo rthem keeping it this long it better run like new lol

 

163000 isnt gonna run like new, bearing are gonna be wore, ring, stress factors, seals. But I wish you the best, but just dont think its gonna be brand new and beat it 24/7

 

Yeah man, you should have at least had them put new rings in there while they were at it. Seems sorta like beating a dead horse.

 

Haha well guess what? They are.Heres why. I called the guy today and he said he got the car back from other shop but that other shop still had the gasket? He also said that other guy at the shop said he could find nothing wrong with the valves or headgasket and have no idea why it could be smoking.Yet if i remember he said he put whole new set of valves in it.He also asked me if I wanted him to change the piston rings and something else I forgot on why it could be smoking and of course I said go at it.....How long would it take to change them?He also said guy from other shop should be bringing back the gasket tomorrow.

 

You should take the time to learn what's being done to your car, since you're not doing it yourself you could at least research what's happening to that janky KA. Learn and stuff, it's cool.
