[QUOTE="Freefallin, post: 1402126, member: 21535"] UPDATE: Got both valve covers off with motor in car and zero signs of foul play. Couldn't notice and broken valve springs, or broken or popped off followers. Does this mean anything pertinent? What next? Jack car up and bang on starter with a hammer to see if it releases? You know the black grounding wire that runs from the starter, under the engine and then back up to the front drivers fender area? Well I INITIALLY hooked that up to the large bolt (I think this is the main fuse panel for the car right?) where other RED grounds were connected to...ultimately causing some smoke but thankfully we got the wire moved to its appropriate ground position further up on the fender a few seconds after... Then, after the initial test drive, my mechanic buddy crawled under the car to notice the starter bolt pretty loose that holds the main ground. Could this be related? Sean [/QUOTE]
