It's a cast tab that's part of the engine block.

Go ahead, hammer away at it on your own car. Maybe you'll initiate a crack and wonder why your car is mixing oil/coolant 3 months from now.

Oh I'd never do it to my own car. It's different when it's a customer's car and you're just trying to get shit done on book time.

The last time I've stopped and thought "is this something I should be doing?" was when I air chiseled some random suspension joint apart to make CV shaft fit on a subaru.

People never came back, so I assume it didn't hurt anything.

ETA cast metal breaks way easier than forged pieces

That's because their suspension snapped and they careened off a cliff. Nice job.

Bigger shops will try to beat book times for labor. If they are billing an hour labor for something you better fucking finish it in 30 minutes. This is why you should stay away from any chain places and some dealerships. They are only happy when they are billing more work hours than they are paying in man hours.
 
I'm sorry, are any of you surprised that this idiot would put lives at risk due to his own incompetence and/or laziness?

the only thing shocking about this revelation is that it didn't throw him into crippling debt

It wasnt advice dipshit :lol:

Who said that I thought that was advice? You are the only one who had that thought.
To clarify for the mentally handicapped (you):
Reading about the horrible decisions you make in regards to workmanship and safety, it is easy to understand why no one listens to any advice you may give.

You gigantic faggot.

You fucking idiot. Every shop works like this. It isn't the shop that is trying to beat the book, it is the mechanic. The shop could care less if the mech beats the time (provided they aren't slow enough to never make money)
Mechanics are the ones getting paid by man hours. It takes a mech 4 hours to complete a 2 hour job, they get paid for 2 hours. Shop still gets full payment.

Go be Jon Snow elsewhere.
