the things you find!!!!!!!!!!!

I had the valve cover gaskets replaced on my 89 in the mid 90's. When installing the supercharger several years later, I found a fule injector lead pinched between the head and the valve cover.

Great job, boys.


Recently I had a large AG tractor split to install an new clutch. the loader frame had to come off. when they put it back together they pinched the + cable from the battery to the starter motor, between the loader frame and the radiator brace.

I found it looking over the tractor when we got it back home, after an hour drive on back roads from the mechanic to my barns.

vibration would have eventually worn the insulation and the tractor would have burned to the ground with no way to put the fire out........ dodged a real bullet there.

If you can do your own repair work, you should.

Over the years I got a few free tools that techs had left in my cars. But so far nothing of much value.

True, although we did get pretty close going down I-5 side by side several years back.

Oh c'mon - that was nothing! This car has never seen more than 147mph in its entire life... well below its capabilities.

Haha, that's just breaking a sweat on a S4.
