Or at least a second opinion. He said the wrong thing today. "Maybe you should just get rid of it". What? My baby?
He said it's leaking oil because it needs a new timing cover. He's going to have to pull the head again. "It's going to be expensive". We refurbed the head and new head gasket last yesr. Timing cover 50 bucks and what, maybe $500 labor? Not even 80K on the 22re yet.
So I think I'm going to try another mechanic who is a lot further away. Sometimes I think whether a mechanic wants to do the job is just as important as their skill. If it seems like they really don't want to do the job, move on.
So anyway, should we do the timing chain while we're in there? Or nah, if it ain't broke...
