[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 3307517, member: 29706"] Yeah, I wasn't too worried about it. More often than not I do stuff like that to help people more than to make money. I can only imagine what she would have ended up paying after having it towed to a shop to have them get it to start. Probably 50 bucks for the tow if not 100 and then another 50 to 100 work on it. I probably could have got some starting fluid and made it run but after 127K miles the plugs were shot anyway, and she will probably get better mileage as well. With the oil I found I told her that if she was thinking about trading the car to get it done. The valve cover wouldn't be too bad of a job except the upper motor mount is bolted in such a way that it can't be taken off without the mount being removed... That means it's probably a 4 hour job to get it done. Looking at that plain was not an option for me. [/QUOTE]
