    I don't know a lot about the 355's but that I like...

    I'm looking at this one currently and something seems out of place with the random hanging arm of the top. Can anyone confirm if this is normal or not?

    Also, it's had a major but not the valve guides done. I'm going to get the PPI done and if there are compression issues, then its a no go. However, should I still even consider it if the valve guides haven't been done.

    Yes, that is how the top looks when down. Mine has the same arms that hit those aluminum stop blocks.

    That long rant was about this car? Seems like Jody was going to fix the issues...any knowledge if he did?

    Also, what about the paper work turns you off on this (besides the major in 2005)?

    Thanks for the help and guidance

    Jody said he was having the car fixed (new valve guides) but there is no service record showing the repair.
