OK, a Doctor has a Stethoscope , X-rays, CAT scans and Blood work. the four tools above are their equivalent. If you went to a doctor and he said he was not going to use any of the above tools, because they cost more money than he liked to spend, you would thank him, and leave, because without them, he is down to leaches and other less pleasant remedies. Likewise, if you are not in possession of the tools above, you are not in a position to keep your engine healthy.
