good news and some really bad news..

[David Liu <dyliu@pacbell.net>]

well, just finished changing the oil/filter.. i swear i could hear the car 
sighing in relief like it just got some blood transfusion! and when i got 
rid of that dirt-infested el-cheapo air filter with the k&n... it was like 
giving new life to the car!

now the really bad news... as i was struggling to get the oil filter out 
(what a pain in the ass - i had to untighten/tighten by hand since the 
filter wrench wouldn't fit in that tiny space to work with (it looks like i 
might need to get one of those plastic caps that sit over the end of the 
filter that works with a ratchet.)). anyway, as i was fumbling around 
there, i noticed that there was something loose. not good. then my working 
light blew out. shit. so i grabbed a dim flashlight and shone the thing at 
the loose part..... it's the fuckin' motor mount!!!

then i figure i should give the engine compartment a look-over only to 
discover another thing... the hose from the airbox to the ventilation 
housing on the engine is wide open (from corrosion of some sort) right at 
the housing.

so, a few questions for the group..

1. anyone have that hose sitting around (in the bay area) that they can get 
rid of?
2. anyone have that motor mount?! and if i do this, i wonder if i should go 
for some aftermarket nylon/poly-type??

thanks all!
