update on dead engine (express oil change left plug loose) 700 1987

Just over a couple months ago I lost an engine after my oil plug fell out. Well actually, a crank turning and new bearings would fix it.

They FINALLY got a replacement engine and got it running fairly well.
got valve chatter, cut wires on my NEW engine wiring harnes, dies periodically when I back off the throttle, odd noises, shift lite almost always on, blah blah blah.

They think I should be over joyed. sheesh.

Going to call their adjuster again 2maro & yet again see if I can get them to get it fixed. Last chance, after this, it's in my lawyer's hands.

Moral of the story.....
Even if you're staying in a motel hundreds of miles from home & they don't want you changing your oil in the lot, Don't go to express oil! Next time I'm going to one of those parts stores that let ya work in the lot and do it my dern self.

Ah well, I've had it back for almost a week now (2 months later!) & a couple of ya wanted updates, so sorry for the rambeling on.
