I've been reading the forum for the past week and it's been a big help, deciding what to do and some simple fixes, but i decided to put off modding my car untill it runs properly.
I just got a 92 eagle talon AWD A/T last week for $1,100. The body doesn't have any major damage and very few scratches ect. but the engine on the other hand has a few problems, such as low compression on 2 cylinders due to some bent valves. The car runs and works ok but just doesn't have much power. A valve job done by the mechanic on it will cost around $1,600 and if i pull the head and take it in it'll cost anywhere from $600-$1200. I also have thought about doing it myself, and am wondering how hard and how much time it will take? and about how much will it cost?
In the meantime though i have a cracked exhaust manifold and seeing as that seem's pretty straight forward i'm going to do that sometime soon before i fix the valves. What exhaust manifold is recommended? On ebay there is one for $160 but it fits a evo III turbo and i have a stock, would their be anyway to make it fit on my car?
Thanks in advance.
