If this was my car and someone did shotty work to cause me more mechanical problems. I sure as hell would go after them. And don’t take this a a flame. I just want to know why you dont hold the mechanic liable for the damages he has caused. And by the way who is the mechanic? With doing shit like that he should be dragged out in the open. ---

> [@DrDoS](#): > > So we decided we were going to let it run for 10-15 mins with some cheap oil to rinse it trough… For future reference: it’s estimated that torsional vibrations on a crankshaft while idling are 2-3 times worse than while at redline (in gear/under load). :shrug: Not that this should happen within 10-15 minutes of idling in any car, but just because it was idling doesn’t mean there was less stress on the engine. 😉 [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/my-turbo-nightmare/19061.md?page=3) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/my-turbo-nightmare/19061.md?page=5)
