@schassisowner, Hey I missed your reply, the cressida has still been running great ... Have not had another problem with it, runs strong, just hit 6400RPM this morning.
An update on the issue, I pulled off the valve covers and checked the cam bolts, one of em was very slightly loose, I tightened it and have not had any problems since.
Requested image of said cressida. This is from last year, it has not changed since then. Its dropped approximately 1" from stock.
Does 110 in 3rd uphill and keeps pulling in 4th...
