Topic: Do No Harm

After about 45+years of turning wrenches you name it and I have probably done it. My 15 year old son just stripped out his first oil drain bolt I had to get the camera

Far too many good engines have been ruined or at least damaged from bad fuel pump pouring gas into the oil pan. During years of messing with antique/collector cars, if it had been sitting a good while or if I even suspected a bad fuel pump, I simply replaced the pump. Too many of 'em will run great while diluting the oil and burning the engine down.

I'm sure I've thrown many good pumps away but it was very cheap insurance. I put it in the catagory of allowing an engine block to freeze and crack for the lack of a bit of antifreeze. Neither one is very smart.

I'm sure we've all screwed up more than once during our years of enjoying cars, trucks AND motorcycles. I know I have.

Lesson learned eh Cameron, we increase our knowledge by emptying our wallets.

When I do my taxes I file it under "tuition".

Yeah, knees on concrete a bunch here to regret. Nice to have some of this new space-aged packing material to kneel or lay on.  if I don't forget to use it.
