okay so i got it fixed...my dad and bro went at it for like 3-4 hours today while i was at work and they got it to work well...but in the process they broke one of the bolts that holds the valve cover down....so i had to drive with one of they broken. Oil pretty much all over the engine and i'm pretty pissed but more could of happened. tomorrow i gotta buy a new bolts and hopfully fix it. no more engine work for me
