[V8] Stick a fork in the V8 I am done ;-)

Sun Aug 3 14:38:06 PDT 2008

My brain has doubt cause I have seen pictures of damage :) but feel free 
to send me some. will be doing the timing belt here in not too long 
anyway due to paranoia... and yes it was changed 40k roughly ago.

I will take a picture of the belt when I do the gaskets. I ordered the 
valve cover gasket kit from Blau, I am going to do both while I am at 
it.. I cannot really wait past tomorrow for force5 to ship it.. If the 
dealer has it in stock I am leaking pentosin and saving 40+$ in pentosin 
is worth it.

As for carbon canister? what is that? And note I tore the entire trunk 
liner out and now its stopped??
