Engine had came out of the car three time, first time for rocker arms, second time for oil leak, third time for camshaft/sprocket. Please be advised, since three possible sprockets can still go bad, it will cost a good 5-6k to replace it. It is very labor intensive and costly which is why I would not recommend touching this car lol.
The car definitely has some sort of electrical gremlins in it as after the crankshaft sprocket replacement, the battery seemed to have spilled acid on itself and burned the paint of the battery holder, been through three batteries in the course of 5 years (something seems to be draining it) -- I drove it everyday as a daily driver so it's surprising that the battery died like every 1-2 years.
