I scrap cars too, and I still give the truth to my customers. I wonder if this guy is though. Seems like he has an eye for it or is incompetent. Either way he isn't the only option. Rent a u-haul dolly and get the thing out of there. Pay him for his time. Then get out of there. If he has to have you tell him there is a cooler under there and tell him how to test it you don't want him to do it.

See, the car is 300 miles away. We have thought about renting a Uhaul and Dolly, but that plus round trip gas. If the car DID need to be scrapped. We'd end up in the hole.
And he was the only choice because the car is in the middle of BFE Missouri, and he was the only mechanic within 50 miles, and agreed to tow it for us.
I tell myself, that he is just a hometown MOzura Mechanic, used to fords and chevy's, and is maybe just a little confused by the foreign motor, and I HOPE that's all it is. As it stands now, He's pulling down to the part. He's supposed to let me know by wednesday. But I have news for him, In case he is slightly crooked, and is after a free scrap car. IF the oil cooler isn't the problem, which I know it is, but if he tells us it isn't.....I will pay him for his labor, and scrap that car with a competitor right outta his driveway.

"If the car needed to be scrapped we'd be in the hole."
Cars aren't an investment unless you have a model T or a numbers matching Hemi Cuda with 50 miles. They are an expense. a 300 mile road trip isn't much, and worrying about gas mileage and a Uhaul is a minimal expense compared to the local Cletus in BFE tearing up an engine he knows nothing about.
Get that car out now before he tears it up. He doesn't know what he's working on and will make your nightmare a reality with your wallet on the chopping block. Even if he puts it together who knows what may be surfacing down the road from his work. Pull the pin now and go get it or leave it there and see it recycled into new saran wrap and beer cans.

Ok guys, He pulled down to the part, and said you could visibly see the crack with the naked eye. That it IS the problem. Thank goodness. All I need to do is order the part and an Intake gasket and the car will be ok.
Now before I order this part, I am finding the AC Delco part # to be 13101668. You guys think that is correct? The part search on ACDelco says it fits my model. But for SOME reason Amazon is saying it won't, Figure Amazon may be wrong. You think I should just order it anyway?

Sarcasm isn't going to get you too far. The only links we allow is the photographs or youtube videos.

The Delco number is the right one. Amazon and EBay don't fix cars, and I've seen their compatibilty charts a mile off regularly. Delco made the part, they know what the right number is.

I'm sorry Hammertime, lol I was only messing with you. In all seriousness. I can't express to you guys how much you have helped me in this matter. For real. You guys do something really good here.
I went ahead and ordered the part. It's on it's way there, and we'll see how it goes. :D
