After seeing the information you sent me, it all makes sense.
The problem I now face is I'll be going in for surgery on December 8th and I won't be able to work on the engine for a while. I've been off work since October and won't be back until late January or early February.
I'm going to call my Dad and see if the work is guaranteed.
Thanks again.

No problem at all.
One thing I like about this place is that there are a lot of individuals with different professions and I am happy to spread whatever knowledge I can contribute. I know others do the same.
Very sound thinking on your diagnosis.
Good luck w/ the surgery.
I hope the mechanic will stand behind his work.
Have a happy Thanksgiving!
