Tragic. Maybe you can use the time to do other preventative work. Although, with parts quality, I'm hesitant to touch anything hard to get to that currently works. Chances are the working part on there is better than whatever you'll replace it with these days. I'm hearing of OEM parts being DOA in increasing numbers.

And as I learn more, it seems that dudes who work on shit boxes have this general attitude. If it works right now, keep fucking moving lol

Those fuck around and find out parts are a dilemma though. It's different if you know it's a leaking pan or something like that. Could lose an engine

There it is. Makes more sense lol
