My sister in-law had Walmart do her oil change in her 85', they broke the filler assembly, and put 3 GALLONS of oil in it. When it would not start (it would not even crank), they wheeled it out of the bay saying her engine was siezed and blown. uh, OK, it ran when we pulled it in. My father diagnosed the problem, and after draining and several days of sitting, removing the plugs and cranking, then putting new plugs in and running it, then replacing the Cat, all was OK. Wal-Mart did pony up and pay for it, but they weren't very easy to get the $ from, that's for sure John |
