Good suggestion but he might just as well be a "promoter" . . .

With the known potentially catastrophic failures of these motors, no mechanic or flatbed operator in their right mind would risk causing further damage (and possibly be held responsible for such) by running the thing, let alone under heavy load to get it onto a flatbed. That's why they have winches and tow hooks . . .

He could easily check for a bad AOS by just pulling the J-tube at this point and not starting the engine (possibly causing catastrophic hydroloc) to test filler cap.

So, either he's a "promoter" (and yes everyone knows what I mean by that) or someone whose really in for a wallet draining w/ this mechanic.

Good luck and if these problems are real, definitely start by getting a new mechanic... one who knows what the heck they are doing
