This guy was a moron. Grade A idiot. One of these people that never should be allowed to own wrenches. He installed 3.73 gears on my 96 GT and when he did he never bothered to set the back lash and tore all the carrier bearings and the pinion bearing up. He put Ford Racing shorty headers on, and NEVER tightened the bolts so it blew all the gaskets out. When he put the rear end back in the car he tightened the bolts so tight, even heating them up they wouldn't come off. And now hes done this. This pissed me off the most. A 20 min job, left my car sitting and useless for a couple of days.



I pulled this out of number 4 cylinder. Of course the heads are messed up now. So i went to retap the hole and found this...



Not only did he cross thread the head once, but he put a heli-coil in and then CROSS THREADED the heli-coil. What a moron.

I hope that was a joke. I'd never sell a car hacked up like that.

God, that is horrible.

I've noticed some make you wonder what the previous owner was smoking stuff on my car as well. Except I believe it was the original owner that was to blame, not the guy before me.

How sad, bitter are we? Sounds like your easily manipulated, I hope you were being sarcastic.
My college Biology professor had a thick southern, backwoods, accent, and acted goofy as hell, but the man made many genetic break-throughs in his field. Just b/c you sound and look intelligent does not mean that you are. Again, I hope you were being sarcastic. Judgemental ass holes FTML.

I would have gotten rid of that car a long time ago! Let someone else deal with it instead of investing your time and money. Find a clean car that has been maintained well.

wow! Serious? I mean, do you have a hard time distinguishing a dumbass? Or do you easily jump the gun and assume I'm prejudice towards some people? Perhaps you should've taken a page out of your biology teachers book and learned humans naturally judge. You clearly see the issues this fellow is having which probably means he's not the brightest crayon in the box if he worked on this car. And i think you're a little thick skinned to not see i was being sarcastic. So why don't you chill out Ike.

Snap judgements about people usally end up w/a nasty ending. Distiguishing a dumbass probaly wouldn't be hard w/the comment you've made, if taken seriously. Sure this guy who worked on the car might've not been the most mechanically inclined but, that dosn't mean hes not smart, just not good at cars.
How can I see that you are being sarcastic when you don't use the smilies 1 1/2 inches to the right. Unless you are a soothsayer, mind reader or asked the person yourself, then stupid adolescent judgement needs not to be made.
The guy who works on my car when the project is too big for me, would fit the I am ultra smarter then I look bil, and he is a genius w/the wrench and diagnosing.
Racists much, let me guess my best friend is a minority Dude!
O.p. hence goes the responsibility of buying a used car. Unless you know the person, you really need to check the in's and out's of car. Yes the spark plugs and or coils, Everything that makes the car go Vrooooom, and back and forth needs to be methodically checked. So you can't be but so pissed.
Use this a learning experience.

You're an idiot. Like i said, thick skinned when it comes to humor, I forgot I need to add a smiley face for people like you . So enjoy your bashing behind your computer screen because that all you can do.

Settle down Jr., everything will be o.k. Sarcasm is about intent; I don't know your intent w/o knowing your mood, and I don't know your mood w/o these wonderful mood-implicators, the smilies.
