no but seriously dude, you got raped.
|
now all u have to do is get ur self haynes manual for ur car
|
hey hamlet, u need a drop, bad dude...
|
Got some STechs 2 days ago, Taylor and I are gonna drop it real soon. Wanna help.. LMAO
|
if your rings are worn down as soon as all that oil burns off your compression will be bad again. It'll help for a little while but not much. Also it may screw up your catalytic convertor if they put to much in. |
In this case since you did not know what the failing parts where, I can't fault you for spending $500. However if you knew the problem part and just didn't have the tools or space to make the repair I would say you got raped. Even if you dont do the repairs yourself you should always buy the parts yourself and take them with you to the repair facility. This will save you $$$ in overcharges for parts. Guys take it easy on him he may not be handy with a wrench, rather be safe then sorry. For example, you dont want to get half way through a repair only to find our you can't complete it! Almost at that point this weekend with my wifes freakin BMW, I hate German engineering!!!!:mad::mad::mad:
