hydrolock the motor, things can get pretty busted up in there. What he got by going to Jake was not just an AOS change but an analysis of the engine for any secondary damage. That he got out of there with so little (easy for me to say, I wasn't paying) wrong with the engine was luck. He now has peace of mind not only because of the AOS and IMS but because of the analysis of the state of the engine.

What we got out of it was insight into the thought process that a very experienced mechanic went through to identify the problem and to insure that that was the only problem and it was worth fixing.

Thanks to both 02box and Jake for sharing the experience with us.
