I hope to get back to it to - morrow and will attempt to show the usual damaged oil pan bolt holes and how to fix them , sorry about the blurry photos , some are , some are not , it must be me .

OBTW : the face shield gets filthy dirty but it's easy to clean , : use running cold water and your CLEAN FINGERS to gently work the grime lose and float it off with out scratching and ruining it , then shake dry and blot off the water drops with wadded toilet paper .

Wiping it with rags , destroys it instantly no matter how soft and clean you think your rags are .

SAFETY KNOWS NO SEASON ! .

its still a good idea to wear safety glasses under the shield and when you raise the shield tilt your head down so your looking at the ground at your feet. chips, shavings and such collect between the shield and the headband, then when you raise the shield it falls straight into your eyes

We had a guy post hear last summer and had the wire come off and went into his eye, he posted it so everybody would learn from his mistake. its a sobering reminder.

Yes, I remember that thread. I have been very diligent in using protection ever since.

Eye protection that is.

Oh sorry, I didn’t mean to be so chauvinistic. Should I have put “I willfully requested my spouses help in garage for some metal fabrication work and she complied” Sorry if I offended you.
