Hiya,
Good to see your man is on the ball, in my job I see so many people come unstuck because someone, or thier mechanic, has tried to cut corners. the main overheating problems I see roadside are caused by coolant fan switches failing! Folk don't find out it aint working till they get stuck in traffic and cook their engine

Good luck with the rebuild.

Yea, I can see how that would be annoying! Phil stuck around until he was absolutely sure everything was a-ok. He waited for it to warm up, used a cool strobe light thingy to make sure the timing was perfect (it was 18, and should have been 20, so he adjusted it and now it's perfect ) waited for the fan to come on and was almost as happy as me that the job was finally over hee hee!
