Message	SpecialtyZ has a reputation for making the best running cars in the industry. They know what parts work and what ones don't because they have worked with them all. If they let you insist on keeping your parts, you would be disappointed with the result, and would still be mad at SZ. We have to protect ourselves from poor previous work and part selection. I would rather you be angry at me for not working on your car than angry at me for charging you $2k and you still ending up with issues. -Dan VTC Solenoid Caps and install instructions.
