Hi Everyone,
I'm not sure I undestand what having the A/C compressor disconnected has to do with a main bearing going bad. I would question that idea. It is really sad to read through so many of these threads and hear how little so many mechanics know about basic auto operation. Guy, if someone here was to talk you through it would you be willing to tackle some of your own maintence, like setting the timing? You might want to consider investing in some basic tools and learning your way around the engine compartment, remeber none of us were born as mechanics, we all learned things along the way. K cars are basically quite simple cars and compared to later vehicles are a delight to work on. There sould be enough people here to talk Guy through some of this stuff so he doesn't have to deal with the mechanics he's been dealing with. Another thought is when you meet other k car owners ask them who services their cars and if their happy with them.
