Well after deciding to do the "Locktite Butterfly Screws"mod i found out that im missing 1 butterfly and 3 screws, so i have deciced to take the head apart and make sure that the screws are not in there, i got the butterfly out, it was the driver side and it found it way to the passenger side and got all bent anyways here is a few pics of the butterfly, ill take pics as i go along and keep you all posted, and for those that asked or think about asking about symptoms of the screw missing, THERE IS NONE, my car was running fine, no noise whatsoever so make sure you do this mod before is too late and have to do what im about to do :S tear the whole head apart.
LUCKY ME!!!!, There is no signs of damage and best of all no buterfly screws inside. now i have to put every thing back together, damn im glad that there was nothing inside i still cant figure out how. but oh well im not complaining. ill post pics as soon i get everything back together ....
