I dont mind working on it honestly. I replaced them all in car a couple years ago except for that one due to the headers so its my own fault, already got the old one out lastnight so I should be good to go. I hardly work on or even see the car really, I live in fitchburg, cars in worcester at my dads. The shitty part is, the car felt better than it ever has and felt smooth as butter on the t-brake.
It's not so much the worst luck as it is buying peoples beat up shit. I bought my heads a couple years ago from a buddy of mine and threw them on. All they had was like 50 mins of run time and about 6 miles of driving from me. When I took them to school, the springs were junk, tested 260 @ 1.2" when my new cam calls for 343. The springs were floated so many times they were digging and some had gone through the shims and a couple started to dig into heads itself. I had a couple valves that didnt match so I had to buy all new hardware, new valves etc. Lesson learned is to stop buying peoples used shit. Only buying new from here on out.
