well finally got back from the dealership and you guys saw the numbers. the timing on the exhuast is off by two teeth so i should be having that fixed at some point in time. they also recomended that i try and fix the pcv system and see what that does. they say even if that does work there is still going to be a oil leak. and also just for the record i never over heated the car!!!! thats why i love my aftermarket temp gauge once i saw it get about 210* (normal is 190*) i pulled over and turned the car off and cranked the heat. the stock gauge never moved at all it stayed in the same spot. as for a sh!ty install on my temp gauge i think not it hasnt leaked at all. i really hope that all this can be settled with a new pcv system and fixing the timing that would be great becasue there for mike didnt sell me a bad motor there were just some stuff (that i wanted fixed before hand) that were wrong. but seriously the timing off 2 teeth thats alot and should not have been like that mike and i are both lucky nothing has happened so far as in bending valves in our cars. i will keep you all updated i hope to atleast have the timing fixed next pay check and then do the pcv. so we will see what happens but now your guys got the numbers and maybe i have a solution.

pull cover off , pull tensionar off , set belt by timing marks on cams and on shaft.

insert tensionar, make sure everything is correct , release tensionr

make sure everything is correct again.

turn car on.

ok 30-40 min but still if you can I have once so far and dont recomend it is stretching the belt and moving the cam shaft.

I did it for one tooth , wouldnt do it again .

ok so even if i did drive my car like a nut... and the relay fan actually worked then my car would have been fine? but since the cooling fan relay was bad and i had a leak and i had to sit in traffic (i hate LA) it over heated.

I know I said that I was done...but this is now official. So much for thinking Baker is honest with everything he posts. I think I'll go sit on the cross now KTHXBYE

hmmm well i guess you are right... it did "over heat" becasue if you want to get deep into it over heating is going above normal temp so yes i guess the car did over heat. but acording to the stock gauge i never over heated the car.
