They couldn't tell me how much I was off when I asked, I even asked the tech a few questions about how/where he looked, what timing mark he was using, maybe he could show me, just to make sure we were all on the same page, etc. and all I got was an ass-load of attitude in return, and then the guy tells me he would fail me if I decided to test with them again. What a bunch of f'n tools. I was referred to these guys too......I guess service is still dead and has now become a beligerent zombie. You know, the more I think about this the more mad I get. I would report them to the bureau of automotive repair. It is BS you passed a pre smog test and then they failed you, but can't tell you why other than the timing. That is BS.

Yes, even the brand new stuff you buy at the home store.
To kill any mold or mildew that may be growing mix a small amount of bleach into some water in a spray bottle. Spray the wood down, no need to soak it, just a good light coat.
Let the wood dry thoroughly, I usually wait at least 48 hours to make sure it's nice and dry. Then you can use Killz stain blocking paint to "lock in the funk", sort of like encapsulating paint on steel that prevents rust. The Killz will provide a barrier to keep mold from forming.
We had a spot in the laundry room that we removed some moldy rotten drywall and baseboard trim. The subfloor had a bit of water damage too, but no major mold or rot. Had another spot in the smaller bathroom that was the same. We treated both spots the same way I described above.
They have now been in use for a little over 1 year and we have had zero problems. I even peeled back a tiny bit of the vinyl tile in the laundry room while I was in there cleaning out the dryer vent about a month ago, just for curiosity sake, and it still looks great.
Hope this helps. | 1 member likes this:
