I spoke with my local mechanic and he admitted he had a helper. He said his phone rang off the hook that day and he probably got distracted.
Well, that explains part of everything but it doesn't explain how he could have redone the job and it still be like that. My suspicion
is his helper did it and told him he had redone it and my mechanic didn't check behind him. Still wrong but that makes sense.
Oh, and the timing is off one tooth per my Lexus mechanic. Based on red light and codes and such. Runs great though. Should get it fixed
this Saturday.
His helper was his Dad.
