Dumbass!
I went to check on the repairs on my boat this morning, get the winterizing
set up and square away on my bill. The engine was running rough after my overheating episode this summer. My new mechanic found that the port side exhaust manifold gaskets had failed due to the overheating and were allowing water into 2 of the cylinders. They also found that the oil cooler was leaking and the wrong spark plugs were installed (I had my old marina do a tune up on the boat last summer). Every time the *OMC Certified* mechanic at my old marina touched my boat he screwed something up. First he never replaced the impeller like I asked him to, saying he checked it and was working fine. Then the boat overheated because the impeller failed. Then he installed the wrong temperature thermostat when trying to "fix" the problem, never finding the bad manifold gasket. Earlier he used the wrong spark plugs during a routine tune-up. Boy am I glad we switched marinas and now have a good mechanic. ;-) |

Jim, did the "new" mechanic feel there was no other engine damage?
Unless the winterizing is already done, I'd still ask them to run a compression test, to see if a cylinder is low on compression. ie burned halve, blown head gasket, or even a cracked head. These engines are pretty tough, but can still be hurt by accessive heat, and in some cases, it doesn't take much, either.

Yes, they ran a compression test on all cylinders and said there was no
damage. wrote in message ps.com... Jim, did the "new" mechanic feel there was no other engine damage?

If you are eating in the livingroom in front of the wide screen, I hope
you have the place covered in paper towels, or a big painters drop cloth. Ribs? be careful, you might actually get that sauce in your mouth! LOL!

Actually it is good karma John as things are all fixed and I found a great marina and mechanic. My *bad karma*, as you and Reggie talked about in recent months, was due to a dumbass presenting himself as an OMC certified mechanic. My other *bad karma* was due to an old sump pump I failed to change. LOL....I guess this *karma* thing is easy to turn around. Hope everything works out for Jim. ;) Why thank you John, but if already has. ;-) Anyway........Friends are coming over in 15 minutes or so to watch the OSU/BGSU game and then feast on 6 slabs of baby back ribs I marinated in my special wet rub overnight. 3 slabs are cooked.....3 more are in the oven as I type this. They will later be slathered with BBQ sauce and grilled for 5 to 10 minutes on the outside grill. Beer is on ice. Cole slaw was made this morning. Mmmm, mmmmm. |

wrote in message oups.com... true, but still..... Actually not true. I gave him credit when I found out. And it was not the manifold itself but the gasket so thechnically his advice was not correct. Anyway................... Some folks like to live their lives remembering the petty (and often untrue) negative things of the past rather than enjoying the good things of the present........making their entire life negative. John and bassy need to watch the old Disney film "Old Yeller", especially the part where Fess Parker talks to his son Tommy Kirk about how to get over losing his dog. An interesting observation..........John is acting very *Kevinesque* lately. Both need to chill and move on with life. JohnH wrote: You're correct! I'd forgotten about that post, ..

We ate at the kitchen table (avoiding the mess by eating in the dining room over nice carpeting) and at the adjacent kitchen counter (we had 11 people in total). The atmosphere was relaxed and informal. The ribs were great and OSU played an acceptable but uninspiring game. Later, while sitting around the family room and talking about nothing some of our friends had seconds......all while sitting on upholstered furniture and not getting sauce on the furniture. No drips, spills or stains.............we knew they could do. It was a good day..............my boat is fixed.............no furniture was ruined while eating ribs.......we had a great time with our friends. Add to that the fact that our daughter now has full senses back in her tongue after the removal of 4 wisdom teeth. Wahoo! We now officially have good karma. ;-) PS: Dog gone it! If we only knew restoring our karma from bad to good was only this simple we would have spent the money months ago to have it changed. ;-) |

Every time the *OMC Certified* mechanic at my old marina touched my boat he screwed something up. First he never replaced the impeller like I asked him to, saying he checked it and was working fine. Then the boat overheated because the impeller failed. Then he installed the wrong temperature thermostat when trying to "fix" the problem, never finding the bad manifold gasket. Earlier he used the wrong spark plugs during a routine tune-up. Boy am I glad we switched marinas and now have a good mechanic. ;-) Wow! Sounds like more bad karma. Actually it is good karma John as things are all fixed and I found a great marina and mechanic. My *bad karma*, as you and Reggie talked about in recent months, was due to a dumbass presenting himself as an OMC certified mechanic. My other *bad karma* was due to an old sump pump I failed to change. LOL....I guess this *karma* thing is easy to turn around. Hope everything works out for Jim. ;) Why thank you John, but if already has. ;-) Anyway........Friends are coming over in 15 minutes or so to watch the OSU/BGSU game and then feast on 6 slabs of baby back ribs I marinated in my special wet rub overnight. 3 slabs are cooked.....3 more are in the oven as I type this. They will later be slathered with BBQ sauce and grilled for 5 to 10 minutes on the outside grill. Beer is on ice. Cole slaw was made this morning. Mmmm, mmmmm. In the oven??? And you call THAT **** BBQ? |

Unless the winterizing is already done, I'd still ask them to run a compression test, to see if a cylinder is low on compression. ie burned halve, blown head gasket, or even a cracked head. These engines are pretty tough, but can still be hurt by accessive heat, and in some cases, it doesn't take much, either.

Hope everything works out for Jim. ;) I remember telling JimH that his mechanic was a dumbass last summer, for all the reason listed here. Yet, JimH response was his mechanice was an OMC certified mechanic, and who was I to question his mechanice's judgment. There is an old expression, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool my twice, shame on me". I remember JimH not only getting fooled over and over again, but being very nasty when I told him him mechanic was an dumbass whose ignorance was going to cost him money. Some people wonder why so many bad things happen to them, when to everyone else it is obvious. Care to Google up and post (the entire thread) some proof of those claims Reggie? You sure seem to worry about what I do with my life. I suggest you try to get a life of your own so you can stop worrying about mine. I remember it, also. Your bipolar condition bothering you again, Jim? So, for you: http://tinyurl.com/pbj53 Where you stated: "These folks taking care of my boat are pretty reputable." And here is the thread where you stick up for your mechanic when Reggie was trying to tell you you need a new one. http://tinyurl.com/n53xx Hmmm. I still can't find any part in those threads that support Reggies attack on me when he said: ============== I remember telling JimH that his mechanic was a dumbass last summer, for all the reason listed here.

I remember JimH not only getting fooled over and over again, but *being very nasty when I told him him mechanic* was an dumbass whose ignorance was going to cost him money. ========== Where did I get nasty. When did I question him? I looked at both links you provided and could not find me doing things. But I did read Reggie butting in on a thread about scum at the waterline trying to stir the pot with me and Harry with a whole new topic, then having JohnH ride up on his pony and defending Reggie, with you soon following suit. It then became a JimH bashing thread spearheaded by the 3 of you. Anyway I am done with you. Like Reggie you come here only to stir the pot and try to start fights with me and others here. You are one of, if not the most angriest and spiteful persons I have ever known. Now go join Reggie in the bozo bin. The 2 of you can continue to follow me around and post nasty things about me. You are the ones looking foolish. Good bye. |

You stirred the pot, Jim, with your lies and accusations about me and my family. Are you still trying to lie to everyone here and saying that you never did that to ME? Did you happen to see the posts that tells the story otherwise? You are getting good at showing everyone here what a low life you are. You aren't even man enough to apologize to someone when you are SHOWN that you lied. |

Here JimH has went for at least a year posting lies and untrue accusations about me, and worse, about my family. Now he whines about someone saying "nasty things" about him????? Before you go, I've still not heard your comments about your lies and accusations to my family. Remember? You said you never said anything about me and my family, only Kevins, right? I then posted several of your lies that were TO ME. What do you say about them? Also, let's just say you DID only tell those lies and accusations about Kevin and HIS family. That still makes you the lowest life scum of usenet. |

I stick up for my wife and my kids, unlike that low life JimH. I think obviously most of us would stick up for our families, certainly in person. In person, I doubt you have this problem often. On the internet? I'm not sure what I'd do. It depends...on how serious I think I should take him. On how anonymous we are--I mean how personal can it be when you don't know the person that say things about you but doesn't know you either, and you know he doesn't know you and he knows, and everyone knows that nobody knows anybody here online...mostly. Whew. Anyway, I guess it would depend, but I could see how I could call the guy a jerk, don't worry about defending the obvious, and just move on. If we did know each other, or it got real personal, or something private was exposed on the internet that shouldn't have been, or if it got nasty in person, then we'd have some issues...that I would probably follow up in person. I guess most of us watching this fued thing go don't know what you're talking about. The only thing I've really taken from this is the guy doesn't like his former mechanic because he messed everything up, and got the situation corrected with a new guy...but at one time he defended his mechanic to some of you...and that was apparent a dumn thing. Well, it is very common for people to want to defend there guy, especially if the credentials part works out and they like him. That's typical. That's a guy who is a loyal customer for life if you take care of him. It's unhealthy to go out and 3 bid everything like in industry engineering projects (and even then often not). If this isn't the story, then as far as this thread is concerned, I'm lost. And I don't find the need to follow every link from past threads, so I may have missed something. So, maybe a lot of us don't know anything about this slander towards your family. The only reason I have a notion of it is because you brought it up here. Maybe I'm in the minority. Don't know. If he really did this, and you aren't exagerating things or misinterpreting anything, then being frustrated makes sense. Do you know each other? Is it a situation where it isn't already obvious it's just internet smack talk? Are you just po'ed and find that its easy to strike back on the internet? Other? |

So are your posts about a bipolar condition unless you have facts that it's true. You post like a narcissist. Was that slander, libel, or the truth? Go look it up... Okay, just to prove how dumb you are From http://dictionary.law.com slander n. oral defamation, in which someone tells one or more persons an untruth about another, which untruth will harm the reputation of the person defamed. Slander is a civil wrong (tort) and can be the basis for a lawsuit. Damages (payoff for worth) for slander may be limited to actual (special) damages unless there is malicious intent, since such damages are usually difficult to specify and harder to prove. Some statements, such as an untrue accusation of having committed a crime, having a loathsome disease or being unable to perform one's occupation, are treated as slander per se since the harm and malice are obvious and therefore usually result in general and even punitive damage recovery by the person harmed. Words spoken over the air on television or radio are treated as libel (written defamation) and not slander on the theory that broadcasting reaches a large audience as much as if not more than printed publications Where does it say in there that slander has to be "in person"??? What you are getting confused about is that many times slander over the air is TREATED as libel "on the theory that broadcasting reaches a large audience as much as if not more than printed publications". |
