That's very well possible. Which is why I posted my problem here in case I missed something. When I spoke of the engine being clean, Dave was...
I would like to think that would have been something checked first. I'll ask. They are supposed to flush out the motor itself in the next day or...
That's actually a good question. I would assume it's correctly timed as the shop has had it a good long while. I would think that would have...
