only scratches from what I see, bumper isn't crumpled or dented so that's alright... Still waiting for the owner to contact me and see what he has to say...

Dude!! THAT SUCKS!!

Dude, I only joke ~ I mean nothing bad by it;
actually I totally support you being fiscally responsible...

I'd love to see you back in the Cobalt... but if it wasn't meant to be... oh well.
How about this... I'll buy a lottery ticket for the next lotto max, and if I win, I'll buy it for you ~ sound like a deal?

hey you!

I actually stopped by the dealer yesterday;
the replacement head came in...

someone was supposed to start on it today *crosses fingers*...

I took a couple snapshots - but even those don't really say what went wrong...
I see a valve spring retainer nearly out...
I see an exhaust rocker that has come right out of place...
and apparently the loose rocker hit the rear face of the head/wall casting with enough force to crack, and move the head casting aprox 1/8th ~ to 1/16th of an inch... which is where my oil leak came from...

I'd really like to know what went wrong...

I was told that I should have it back by the 23rd...

*crosses finger*

even if the valve got stuck, it doesn't explain the lock peeking out...
but it might explain why the rocker came out...

that in no way what so ever contradicts, or suggests my last statement was in any way untrue.
