Any recommendations on places to get the best deal on new valve cover + gasket and PCV valve? Keep seeing the RB PCV valve being mentioned as a good replacement to OEM...

If you're just going OEM, the valve cover comes with all the bolts, gasket and PCV valve. No need to buy them separately.

Well you don't need a more expensive AGM. A SLA will do fine. I'm happy to look around for you tomorrow for a batt if you want(online) let me know. I probably need one myself honestly as it shows the batt sign after a few minutes...

AGM is one of the types, Lead Acid being the other. Black top is AGM, white is Lead iirc.

I have all the info when I bought mine last year. I went the Advance Auto route, spent around $100ish.

Over the weekend I installed a new valve cover, tapped and blocked my head boost ports, tapped and installed a 1/4'' BOV line, installed the RB low pressure catch can system. blah blah that was fun. New tires go on tomorrow with an alignment. Just in time to put it away for the winter.

Wife left the windows down 1 inch on the 90. It rained over the weekend. Got in and drove it, radio started popping and then went silent after 3 minutes. No more radio, no hiss, no nothing. Any suggestions on what to look at 1st?

I assume take off door skins and dry them them fuck out. Then replace the amp that fried because of a short. But that is just my initial reaction.

Yes Z I did search.

These fucking cars are pissing me off.

Left side of the trunk, pull cover up, and check amp isn't swimming. I've had it replaced once, same symptoms. Check amp first before door skins.
