Geez, they would have no chance of adjusting your flat tappet valves in your ERA
, Hate to break it to you but many of the idiots at so called "garages" cannot do it either. I was chasing a stupid problem I created with breaking a spark plug and every mechanic, timing off, oh, its not bad you can drive it like that, oh, i can set the timing where you will not notice, let me mess with the carburator. Get the fuk away from it, none of those items were manipulated with prior to the problem how the fuk could they be causing it. In the end it was $1.99 spark plug. My biggest fear in life is allowing someone to work on any of my cars!!
I see alot of guys still in the 5.0l market but they just dont have the $$$$$, life is a biatch when you are poor.

In fact, I would bet that if you went to your local high school 99% of the senior boys there could not change the spark plugs or change the oil in the car they drive. |
