I had bought an engine from AVP and am having problems...some sort of
compression leak causing coolant level pressure as well as fluid level to
rise. We have decided to send the engine back to them for repair. To R&R the
original engine was $780 (65 an hour) AVP is claiming they pay under their
warranty 36 an hour which is, they say the national average. Has anyone had
experience with AV. and their warranty policies, a national average, or any
personal experience that I may find useful in the process of dealing with the
whole repair/$36 dollar an hour deal that I am getting involved in?

My mechanic believes that anyone who charges 36 an hour will most likely be
working on my van with two rocks! By the way the 65 an hour refers to a labor
rate in L.A. Ca. (The dealer in my area is 70 an hour)

Thanks
Rob
