  • The best "dumb" tips ever

    we haven't done this for awhile, but what are your "dumb" tips that really make your life a lot easier?

    example:

    Got tar on your hands? - WD40 takes it off easily and quickly.
    Doing it all wrong since 1966

    Put the cam in before you mount the engine on the stand. Gravity guides it right in. My buddy Lennie (he's gone now) and I seem to be the only ones to figure this out. Of course, not applicable if you're doing a cam swap in-chassis but great if the engine's out of the car.

    EDIT: Forgot to mention that you put the engine on it's butt first!

      Put gas in the car before you start a 4 hour trip. And pee, go ahead and pee before you start.

        Dish soap, not WD-40 to mount tires on rims

          Peanut butter goes on BEFORE the jelly.

          Also, a digital camera with the flash on will make trace amounts of coolant stand out in the pictures.Can make finding leaks real easy.
          I'm probably wrong

            this thread could be endless.
            I drew a blank as if to be overloaded.

            I do next to nothing as is written.
            A lot of v8 stuff, old school, synched right back into my aging brain.

            A funny one:

            those "flushmate 503" etc, the air box pressure tank for toilets.

            let it seep where the "duck bill" is, by half turning it out until drops flow...and drop a blue tablet, almost wedged at the front of the tank.

            Kills quite a modern plague maker.
            Ever tip a bottle, and the stuff came out..but the angle kept the odors and vapors?

            that is how sick that flushmate 503 is.

            anyway...
            this is about cars I presume.

            if your butt is healthy, it lasts longer.
            start with the clean toilet, to fix your car.


            and quilted northern. Super luxury edition... or whatever that is I just bought 48 rolls of for 28 dollars.
            good stuff.

            the death rate and fairy tales cannot kill the nature left behind.

              I noticed this fact this summer. Pretty cool.

                I always use regular penetrating oil to mount tires.
                It's nice and slippery when wet, but gets absorbed by the tire which makes it more grippy when the tire has been mounted.
