okay i had my bshaft belt, timing belt, tensioner pulley, and water pump replaced today and i get the car back and its vibrating. the vibration gets worse as the rpm's climb so i take it back. i tell the mechanic that it may be a tooth off or something cause its not running right. he says he did it him self and its fine so he test drives it. he says there is nothing wrong and says that he has done it hundreds of times and that some "kid that likes to street race in his car" wouldn't know better and if i still didn't like it i could come back on monday and talk to the owner. i dont know if its a tooth off or if its something else any help would be great.
 
Make the brainless sonofabitch demonstrate it's right by lining up the timing marks and then sliding a screwdriver into the check hole. It won't go. For fun, bet him a hundred dollars against it. He got the rear balance shaft 180° out of phase..
 
you know what really pissed me off about it all. he compared my baby to a lower vw jetta with bald front tires. i almost threw the son of a bi*** outta my car and beat him to death with his own limbs.
but in all seriousness can i drive it or should i leave it parked until monday. im not planing on driving it but if i needed to could i do any damage by driving it? thanks for the help guys.
 
thanks again guys. i cant wait to cram it down his throat bastage mofo. i wish i had more time to do these jobs to my car then i would never have to deal with this bullshit.
