    My Haynes manual says the 17 cam bridge to head bolts are also torque to yield, and they recommend replacing them. I did on mine, but the video clearly shows they did not. The video I believe shows they were able to complete the job the same day they started it, but I don’t believe they did it in only 45 minutes. LoL.

    My last remove, teardown, and reassembly started at 9am, buying new head bolts at 12p, and drove it home at 5:30. That was with competent helper and a little moral support.

    Those guys seem kinda fly-by-night. But still, lots of tips.

    Double checked all the sensors are plugged in. MAP sensor is one I've forgotten.

    What codes btw?
