Course, I dont guess it's the mechanics fault. They didn't build the cars.


Bullchit,the mechanics of an engine are the same as always except they are controlled by a computer.Anyone can buy a code reader and find out what is wrong with an engine.Not everyone is capable of fixing it.There is a reason that we now have Automotive Technicians.There is so much more than just changing plugs,rotor cap or rebuilding a carb now.Is this good or bad??Well I know back in the good old days if you got 40,000 miles on an engine you were close to a total rebuild.Valves,rings,head gaskets,maybe cams, new crank,push rods etc.Now at 100,000 miles the engine is just broken and maybe you need new plugs.Change your oil regular,and do normal maintenance and you are probably good for 300,000 miles plus.The good old days sucked!!Huntz
