its not bad but i would of had arp head studs put in at least while i was there and i hope you did the timing belt tensior because that usualy goes alittle after the timing belt and stuff does i had a 96 eclipse with the crapy neon motor in it and i had a head gasket leak and stuff i found out after i changed my timing belt water pump alantor belt and a few other things i didnt change the tensior because i honnestly didn't know and guess what happened about 10-15k miles later? you guessed it i got a loud ticking noise the tensior went and had to have the timing belt and all that crap riped apart again....but your price isnt that bad for what you had done
