For the young techs always verify your cranking compression with a running compression test. This is a fiat came in with a skip on cylinder 4. Cranking compression showed 120psi that should be enough to run smoothly however running compression showed 20 psi. Which is a valve train issue in this case the intake cam lobe on cylinder. 4 cracked and shifted on the cam shaft. The shaft is turning but the cam lobe no longer rotates with the shaft. This is going to be a common issue as many engines no longer use a one piece cam shaft but a multi piece pressed together unit

Ok friends got some news regarding the shop, our long time employee Ethan is moving on to a new opportunity. While we wish him well in his new adventure this will cause an issue with scheduling. So for the next 2 weeks we are not taking on any new jobs. If you were scheduled already no problem your spot is still saved. During this time you may the the gates closed as we focus on getting the yard cleared so I can do a schedule reset and start only taking in what I can do by myself. Thank you for your understanding during this reset and Levi Phillips and I look forward to seeing all of you in the future.
