After getting new chains, guides, and phasers and that idiot mechanic not doing what I told him, that there's a tick under the passenger side valve cover and it's gonna be a bad rocker, now it's getting all new rockers and cams after another mechanic showed me the cam wear.
I knew I shouldn't just get the offending rocker replaced but after the former $1700 phaser job, I wanted cheap. But I considered pick and replacing bad rockers over however long would add up to lots of money, I'm just getting all 24 done for $2200.
My only consolation that the first mechanic ignored me that a rocker needed replaced, as there was a broken spring on 1 phaser, and at 225,000 it needed all that anyway. It did fix the really bad engine surges it was having.
Geez, I hope now at spending almost $4k since August, it lasts another 220k miles, well maybe an oil pump, but now that they have the higher flow pumps available, maybe that'll be the next failure and replacement.
