Napa is the most expensive auto parts company around, and many of their parts are low quality. I have avoided that company since I began driving in 1968. The other company to avoid is Carquest. They have cheaper prices, but their parts are absolute garbage.
Is that Rotax an OHV or L-head ? I had a bunch of stuff in the way , and this V6 is one of the DOHC 4 valve/cylinder models . Spark plug is top dead center in the combustion chamber . About 6 inches down in a hole ...
OHV 4 cyl opposed. Those dohc crossflow heads with the plugs down insude a well are a BITCH to do thread repairs on!
alternator.
I still would have liked to have had time to do this job, the choice this time was waiting until I had time to fix a dead car or paying someone and keeping my work going.
And you were farther ahead paying someone else to do the job than you would have been putting off your own work to do it yourself. That occaisionally happens even to me.
I know of more than one working mechanic who has paid someone else to repair their vehicle. I've done it, mainly because I just didn't want to work on my own vehicle after spinning wrenches all day. That and having the "spare time" to do the work never seemed to appear.
