My new rocket car!

Holy crap what a difference. My car has been a little sluggish lately so I took it to the shop for my brother inlaw to have a peak. I needed an oil change to so another reason for the trip. after doing some reading and with my car being at 140kms we checked the vlaves. Full of crap and loose, ran some gunk motor flush through it and timed the valves and it is like a new car. Lesson here, check your valves!

i put some motomaster engine flush in about 2 weeks ago at my oil change. I also noticed a huge difference, especially when I turn on the AC, the car doesnt bog down like it used to. I should get my timing looked at too
