      And you will, because while you've been there often, I've been studying up for my new career. :glasses20:

          • Wow, that means you paid(?) to have the head gasket changed unnecessarily after people told you to check compression first? Ugh. Sorry dude.

              How well/bad are you driving? Do you think your e-brake is slightly on?

                Aren't you glad you didn't bother to check compression and see if your car actually needed a head gasket

                Oh... wait, maybe that wasn't such a good idea to automatically assume it was the HG's fault... maybe that $30 on a comp tester would have been well spent after all?

                    • Ran Danny's car with some starter spray for a few seconds. The fuel tank is off right now to be cleaned and then I'll get to find out if it can run on gas Also picked up the other LCA but didn't have time to install it due to messing with the fuel tank.
