Default repair costs

Several times I tried to save a few bucks here and there. Almost every time
it ended up costing me more in the long run. This was a lessoned well learned
and now do it right the first time and save myself the heartache of doing it over.

Yes NOS items cost more because it's the right freakin part and it works correctly.

Heck I just spent 9 bucks on a NIB NOS PCV because it was an original AC Delco part
on ebay that was NIB(MADE IN USA). no more annoying PCV rattle and idle is
smoother. Threw the two dollar fram replacement as far as I could in the woods.
Lesson learned!!!!!! More often then not the older parts work right.
