I should add, that I have seen the camshaft and one end of it was rusty and brittle. It was just a matter of time before it was going to fail. I don’t blame the mechanic for what happened.

You and myself have to stay positive and upbeat, right
Good Morning Phil and Jessica.

Spot on with that last statement, what would life be without these hiccups.
