  i have to agree here. i was doing about 90 in my 8v (3500 rpm?) when
my timing belt jumped. i realize that it might no be the same thing, but
i though some damage would've happened to my car.

  the exhaust valves run $19.75 from rocky mountain motorworks. there is
no listing for the intakes, though the 8v's are only $9.95 each.
