Default Starting to hate Toyotas

Doing a head gasket job on a 2.4 camry, didnt know that you had to put inserts into the block for the head bolts because they either pullthreads or strip. so after spending $415 on the kit to install the thread bushings, and an extra 4hours time (not knocking the added $ in my check) i really dont think id ever own any toyota product (have had issues with other toyotas in diff areas)for the simple fact id hate to have to do this for free. die toyota

removing a gas tank out of a fox body with a buddy that has ADD is quite fun when the 15 gallon tank has 16 gallons in it.. sombody got soaked with some 2 year old gas....

Hate working on a Fbody

timingbelt/water pumps dont bother me i love doing them except on the 1 chrysler motor where the pump is driven by the 10ft long timing chain.

subaru timingbelts/water pumps are my favorite, hell i think if i had to pick a dealer to work at it would either be a gm or subaru.

im gonna hope that the gas bath was taken by your buddy lol.

agreed with the plugs, theres quite a fewthings you need to pull in intakes off of to do plugs.

havent done much of anything to fbodys but i got a buddy whos put lts on a few of em and hates doing that.
