Yea i understand, i just wanna see peoples opinions..Maybe someone has tried them before..But i still rather do it right the first time then have to ruin more major items or have to have it get ripped apart again.

I got a cheap timing kit and I won't use every part of it cuz the guides look like they are about to break sitting in the box.

I have a mostly complete timing kit that's missing maybe 3 pieces. It's all Nissan parts, real OEM stuff I could let you have for real cheap. I don't have a KA anymore, so I really need the space on my parts shelf. $70 plus shipping? I dunno...
