No way!!! I'm way ahead of the mechanic game at this point. Besides, where
I live I wouldn't trust ANY of the mechanics in town with my car. This is
just a simple problem which needs a little more attention than it got in the
first go-around. The car runs great, except for the squeal when it starts,
which goes away. Gas mileage is way up already. Power is increased at
least by half of what it was before. Installed a new air intake which has
produced this result as well as the work I did in the heads themselves.

The work is not easy, but very straightforward. It doesn't take a mechanic
to get it done, either. But a friend who is one helps.

I'm still on base.
