Re: What have you done thats really sucked!!!

I've done the bolt down the distributor hole. That was an entire afternoon I don't want to repeat. I did score some cool tools out of the adventure.

I had a leaky gasket on an intake manifold, so I spread an old t-shirt over the lifter valley to catch all the gasket material. All clean, new gaskets and silicon. Bolt everything together. Look for the shirt to wipe my hands. Back apart after midnight. I wanted to do it before the silicon cured.

I had an old VW with a brand new engine. One icy morning the throttle stuck wide open after I pumped the gas to get it started. I managed to get back to the engine to shut it down. Started it again, and it screamed to a halt. Two months of daily driving was all that engine ever saw. Sold the car without an engine to Kris Kuksi. He makes freaky art you should all check out.

Re: What have you done thats really sucked!!!

heres one, some are telling of thier younger days. i had a 72 chevelle malibu, which was my first car. my couisins and i had been out playing soft ball and started home after it started raining. my car had a 307 and 3 speed in the floor. we had just went into a sharp curve to the right when my cousins said hey when you get into that curve hit
2nd gear and punch it. against my better judgement i did just that and fished tailed right into the ditch tore the piss out of the passenger side quarter fender. i had to lie like crazy to keep dad from taking it out on my quarter fender.

another time was just about a month ago. me and my bro in law had wired my new covan dash cluster. when i removed the original dash and wired the connector into the truck harness, i spent 2 days trying to fiqure out why it wouldnt work. my bro in law found the problem. i had wired the truck harness completely backwards form the dash plug. i felt like an idiot!!!!
