cause i feel the same way you do...it has no effect on driveablity unlike the jap cars i owned before....it seems like it could go many more miles like this as the engine temps are consistent...nothing abnormal....it will take me a while to save up that much cake again after i did all the rims, kit and paint......

also had a quote done at any indie shop and they said a whopping 2800 dollars...they said i needed a front timing seal and head gasket replace but while i was at it replace the timing chain and assorted hardware and also do a valve job.....

i heard that the timing chains last almost forever and i don't know about the valve job as that added like 800 more dollars...i just want to stop the leak...it drives well as it is...
