Thats funny, I did not work on it, but I did confirm the problem. Whenever a contour comes in the shop, techs usually come ask my opinion on the problem. We also had a a silver E1 come in the same week for the same problem, which took me like 20 minutes to complete, and I believe we charged the customer 3 hours. Also a blue focus SVT came in with a hydrolocked motor last monday which I ended up putting a new motor in. Was that anyones here? We did not charge the customer the core charge, so guess who got to keep the motor! Any ideas on what to put this in? It should cost me next to nothing to overhaul. It only had 13,000 miles on it. I can get a 99 tour 5 spd 4 cyl, for $1,000 it needs a head, but that does not matter. What do you guys think?
