So what do you plan on doing with the car? Limping it into the dealer to trade it in?

hmmmm so basically i can get ported heads for my car.....interesting. But one hang up is my car is shaking very very badly when it shifts and my steering is making a LOT of noise. I am thinking because my engine is shaking so much from the broken valve that it is litterly shaking everything apart.

Is the transmission bad too? What did you do to that poor car?
