                  Are they to expensive or do you find it wrong to be charged freight costs?

                    They are too expensive when you calculate the actual costs. Most people don't mind paying for shipping, it's when the business seeks to profit on shipping that it becomes an issue. ECS often ships free domestically and makes up for that by screwing overseas customers.

                    Check out local suppliers who deal with ECS instead as they often do deals on shipping to bring costs down to reasonable levels.

                    Group buys are also an option.

                        • Any 4mo guys changed the valve cover gasket and valve seals on a V6 (BDE)? How complex would this be? Is the bentley manual the best place to start?

                          • spent today taking off the engine mounts, dog bone mount and clutch slave cylinder. good progress i think, tomorrow will be replacing clutch, fly wheel, and water pump/timing belt.
