...auto mfgrs make cars difficult to work on. If ya want to replace the oil pan gasket on a 2003 chevy (4.3 v6)pickup, ya gotta almost take the engine out of the car to do it. This makes the repair profitable for the auto dealers and it puts what used to be a relatively simple repair out of the reach of yer average car owner. IT'S A CONSPIRACY I TELL YA!!!

re: "How did the mechanic diagnose a 'bad intake valve'"

My wife tells me I mis-heard her. It's not a bad intake valve, it's a bad lower intake manifold gasket. It's a $25 part, but apparently a bear to replace.
