ha ha ha ...
sure ....I get the big results I think,  but the big bucks....
I'm too nice.  If I had even 20 bucks for ever hour I have spent fixing cars
or vans, I would be a millionaire many times over.

really though, I said that to a guy one time about his ford that
intermittently didn't start.
He theorized igniter getting too hot, and that was it.

I hope people can grasp the nuances of that ...'blockage or leakage of
fluids or electrons' .
when you think about it ..it almost always is that.
and some people don't realize 'fluids' are not just liquids.
 a flat tire is a 'blockage or leakage of fluids or electrons' after all.

so is a bad muffler, or anything you can think of almost.
thrown rod from excessive extended rpm's ..well, maybe not quite.

got 'er fixed yet ?
smiles,
Scott
