Man, I'm tired of this story. (No matter how well-told, Denny...)

Why, why, WHY is it so gol-durned hard to find a mechanic that actually
replaces everything they disconnect during a job, and tests everything
they've touched after a new installation?

Find yourself a shop where the *owner* does the first test flight after an
annual. Those mechanics will have paid attention to reassembly.
