this is actually similar (worse) than the engine that I was going to get.
from the research that I was doing on the cam shaft/sprocket it is an interference type engine. due to the impact it is likely that other things shifted internally.
I'm hoping for your sake that everything is ok (with the engine). definately have vakamon check on the valve though.
Have vakamon perform a leak down test to see for sure if the valves are bent! if they are you'll have to get some work done on the heads to seat new valves...etc. not to mention having to replace the cam gear...etc.
IF EVERYTHING IS OK WITH YOUR ENGINE PLEASE NOTIFY ME ASAP!!!!!!!

They'll let me know how good/bad things are. I am still going to go with the swap. Now I have the Legacy, that's my backup plan in case I don't get a GC.
Damn you Justin for showing me those pics
