Knuckles for some reason Google Drive will only let me view your pics very briefly then I get an error message. What I can see looks very similar to mine but can't see cylinder one long enough to comment. Maybe you could put it on a photobucket acount, or perhaps it's just my old desktop computer. Welcome to Bitog.

Ha! And that's the issue, things like headliners, replaced once, rear speakers dead (too difficult to replace) likely from sun and other pesky things happen before engine will die. And of course the reason I had the valve cover off was to replace the TDC/camshaft position sensor, sort of a pita. Fixed the issue though and I just had new Akebono Pro Act brakes installed so hopefully can keep it going a while longer. Hey, the notorious 01 automatic trans is still shifting with only minimal regular d&f maintenance. Knock wood.
