Hey, so thanks to all of your help and advice, my engine woes are soon to be solved!

Without this board I may not have spent so much on those damn flashy wheels, but I also would have been stuck in an unrequited love with my limping legacy, rather than getting a bit kinky and straight forcing the relationship to work. So whenI get my new engine, I'm going to spend a weekend in Richmond doing the swap. Anyone in the SF Bay looking for free beer and dinner, a way to lose a weekend or both best report for duty!
