Default One DUMBASS mechanic!

Well, i took my car to this so called stang shop to have my cluthc installed and a new oil pan gasket installed (hence, an engine removal), and i recieved it a couple days ago. I payed alot to get it done, thinking the work will be some quality stuff. Turns out the mechanic here is just as bas as every other one in saudi arabia.

Anyway i recieved the car and the first thing i noticed was that the door doesnt close anymore (wtf does the door have to do with an engine removal???) and the lock is broken!!! I did NOT know how that happened, and ofcourse the mechanic said that I gave it to him like that. My ***.

Anyway, the second thing i noticed is that when i started the car up, the starter made this HUGE ugly, scary metal clanking and jarring noise. I asked him WTF is that!?!?! he said thats how it was when he got it. I was about to rape him at this point.

Then, the check engine light came on. I was like CRAP!!! What the hell did this guy do to the car man???!?!?!?

I dont get it (and BTW, there are no consumer protection organizations here in the kindgom of dumbasses), so im screwed.

But i wanted to know what that starter noise is! He had the flywheel resurfaced, but i dont know whats making the noise. Can someone please help??

And oh, how long should i drive the clutch easily to break it in (its basically a high end stock clutch)?

check the oil in it, since he pulled the pan out. also you are better off to pull the motor to put a new oil pan gasket on

sounds like he could have left the motor mounts loose, its a simple and common mistake when you have to hook and unhook so many things. you can check that without even having to lift the car

what does the starter sound like? my car has a ticking after it starts, and its the soleniod thats sticking in it, its a brand new ford starter too... im going to take it up to the dealership and get it fixed because its not supposed to be like this.


good luck, sorry to hear that the mechanic screwed you over.
