Mechanic for hire....Vista, Ca.

[Speed Freek]

Hey guys I was just writing to see If anybody needs a mechanic to do maintenance or install any aftermarket parts or electronics. I am located in Vista, 40 min. north of San Diego. I was a master toyota tech (worked for Toyota / Lexus for 6 years and also ran a dyno tuning and install shop in Oceanside). Now I am a self-employed technician working from my home shop. I can weld and fabricate also so if anyone needs something done and you are not too far away don't hesitate to PM me. I can do just about anything! My work is of the highest quality.

Did you work at Lexus of Carlsbad??

[Speed Freek]

Yes, I worked at Lexus and also worked at Toyota on the "V6 team" doing all the recall head gasket problems on the 3.0. It was a long time ago, over 7 years ago now, been working for myself since then. Do you live near here? Or did you used to?

That could be a lot of different things I have seen that a lot with the valves getting tight, how many miles do you have and do you drive hard? First check and make sure all hoses under hood are plugged in (you have probably looked but make sure). These motors are a pain to do the valves in because it requires measuring clearances removing the camshafts and replacing shims. Just to check them is kinda involved. Also unplug and replug most of you electrical connectors, like coils and maf sensor....might be a bad connection, hope this helps.

Yep I can make whatever you want. I can only make it with angles, broke my bender, angles look better anyway....The bumper can be made several ways with or without skid plate with or without light tabs and other stuff, PM me and we can figure it out.
