Good luck....let us know how it works out. BTW, did you ever post to your local forum asking people if they know of any good mechanics in the area?
Lastly, those cotters are really tiny and easy to drop. Lots of guys will buy any extra couple just in case.

ok im figuring my retainers will be cracked so i ordered new ones and called around town for people to replace them. everyone referred me back to my local Honda stealership. they quoted me 650$ labor to change retainers. does this sound ridiculously overpriced or is it just me?
Do a search on this site, there are pics of what it looks like when you have a cracked retainer (valve stem should stand proud above retainers, cracked retainers will cause the top of the valve to be more sunk in relative to retainer).
Could be a coil/coils, btw. I had one go intermittently earlier this year. Misdiagnosed as burned valves (due to low reading on one cyl.). Doh...

I noticed that you did not post in your local area section for recommendations for mechanics. Although New Orleans is not exactly close, I took the liberty of posting for you. Hope you don't mind.

Air filter, spark plugs, and oil have all been changed within last 2500 miles. Tranny and diff fluid were changed at around 40k by the previous owner, supposedly. But im starting to question that with the way the car is running. I'll take it this week to get them changed and will change PCV, clean tb and iacv this weekend.
