    Everybody has a different way of going about things of course. I've "perfected" so to speak my way of working lol. It is of course different than others. I've also been working on honda's since I was 16 with my first one, so about 9 years now.




    Built, sold ,worked on more cars then you produce sperm lol!

    But either way thanks for your input friend,Bowdown is my friend I am sure if he can't figure it out I will!

    Really your 2 years older than me. I dont think that your in ANYWAY that much more experienced than myself.

    Not at all knocking what you may or may not know, by any means. I just suggest not refering to me as someone who might be inferior to what you consider a well to do mechanic. Aside from that, I would take a back yard mechanic over some ASE chump any day of the week.

    Only due to the fact, a back yard mechanic will do his damnedest to save money, where in turn an ASE Cert. would just quote this that, replace this and that, and cost an arm and a leg.

    I understand he's your friend and your trying to save him some cash, but if you haven't noticed, I too am trying to save him a few bucks.

    I had about 250 into my charging system, when It was a simple fuse, however I had no guidance or somebody who had been through the problem. I bought a new battery, alt, and upgraded all my cables, with big ass wire. It was all a waste when all i need to fix it was a fuse.

    congrats an thanks again for your help


    On the ASE note, I would never let a Backyard guy work on my lawnmower!
    I seen what they do when they get towed to the shop due to they dont know what they are doing!

    Recent case, A backyard guy tried to install a timing belt on a 97 landrover v6 and didnt have the proper tools nor knowledge an damaged the engine , NOW ME AN THE MAD SCIENTIST HAS TO RIP APART THE BLOCK AN REPLACE THE PISTON RINGS YOU FRIED!!! LOL sorry I had to say that!

    But on a serious note* thanks for the input , not trying to start a pissing test that you would lose

    I doubt I would lose that pissing contest. It would greatly depend on who the mechanic was, how much I knew of him, and trusted him.

    If you can't install a timing belt then you should not be considering your self a mechanic by any means. 90% of guys calling themselves mechanics are far from it.

    In my definition a mechanic would be a person who can fix a car but also diagnose problems as well.

    if you can't do that, your nothing but a lowly parts changer
