Is it worth it $235 for a shop to do the timing? I would of done it myself, but I live in a apartment. I have done lot of stuff in my parking lot, like motor swapp etc, but the owner has had it, he told me if he ever sees me again working on my car in the parking lot again, Iam getting evicted So I guess I have to pay a shop to do the work

Just go to a supermarker parking lot and do it or something..
$235 is alot for correcting the timing if u know how to do it yourself..

no i dont think its worth wasting about $300 to fix something you know how to fix.. go spend it on a performance part..... yea go in front of the store of autozone, pepboys or some auto store.. pretend your buying stuff.. lets say brake fluid or something be creative... then just correct your timing in there parking lot...

go ebay... its only $30
you can even look for the battery operated one just hook the other part in the sparkplug.. i think those go for $45 or something.. a whole lot better than spending on what you know how to fix
