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
Not at all familiar with the "promoter" label, but I don't see how it would be possible to have as many posts as you do & not be aware of the excellant reputation of JFP in PA. His frequent posts are as helpful as anyone's on this forum.
