I have a mechanic telling me that my timing chain has skipped timing, or my valve stuck. He quoted 400 for the timing and 900 for the other. I am not sure if he is trying to take advantage of me. Is this a fair price/
I had the distributor replaced 4 days ago. It ran great for 2 days then it started back firing like crazy and and now doesnt start up and when it does it run rough what do you think it is?
