Diagnosis and 'mechanic' suspect! 1800 1972

posted by  someone claiming to be Ron Kwas on  Thu May 30 00:39 CST 2002 [RELATED]

KY;

Tell us the secret of your "invisibility", please.

That story sounds a lot like what I did to bring the J5R No. 3 back FROM Chicago to New England*...and early on in that trip, after high oil comsumption, I was driving two quarts down(!)...

*read about trip: http://www.intelab.com/swem/j5rhistory.htm

...but you certainly DID'NT do anything the car wasn't intended to to...it sounds like your "mechanic" wants to sell you some work you dont need (when all you probably "blew" was a main seal) ...did he also say "those old Volvos need a lot of work...and rebuilding their engines is especially tough and therefore expensive"?

Please get a second opinion from someone whose not looking to add a deck to his house at your expense, and let us know how it works out!

Cheers
