        No worries Gene!

        It's the thought that counts!
        That which you manifest is before you.

          Simple mistakes? Duh, have you all seen this video from Car Junkie TV days?

          Watch this one. It's funny, but get's really funny around 1:35.

          Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

            Does one small bolt dropping down the throat of the carb unnoticed qualify? :-[

                Sorry, I somehow missed that one.

                It was good though.

                  one time I ran a cheap nylon (plastic :P) oil presser
                  line in my 57 chevy (back in 1989) I was on my way to
                  a job interveiw at the sears auto service dept. when
                  it broke off the gauge and filled my right shoe full of
                  20/50 it was hot and slimey. I found a little pair of vise grips
                  and plugged the line to fix later. I got the job but the guy
                  kept trying to find the funny smell in his office, when I
                  walked threw the store I left oil spots on the floor :o

                    Re: Simple mistakes

                    I punched a hole in a freeze plug (when pulling an engine) and
                    when I tryed to retreet, the creeper wheel
                    broke giving me a face full of antifreeze.

                      Re: Simple mistakes

                      I replaced the emission air pump on my Mustang with an aftermarket pump eliminator.
                      Fast forward a couple of years........
                      Motor started making a NASTY noise that sounded like a rod or two trying to exit the block. I freak out and park the car in the garage for 5 or 6 months while I tried to save up money for a rebuild. I didn't even look into the noise any further, I was just sure it was fatal. Had money finally for a rebuild and started to pull the engine. I pulled the serpentine belt off and the pulley for the pump eliminator fell off onto the floor. The ball bearing in the pulley was junk. That bearing was $4 at the store. Pressed in the new bearing and all was quiet and good. Felt like a idiot that I didn't properly figure out the noise.

                        Back, when I thought I was smarter than my dad.. I had a 66 pontiac tempest ohc inline 6.. with quite a sludged up engine...
                        All my friends are in to mustangs.. and always used stp engine flush..
                        I didn't want to ride bike to parts store, that at the time was 3 miles away.. but did have type f tranny fuild..
                        drained oil into a clean copper pan (sorry mom ;D ) and refilled engine with half that oil and 3 quarts of type F
                        run the engine for ten minutes.. and drain out this gear lube looking crude... pull the valve/cam cover.. WOW clean.. nice
                        . finish oil change.. start car... runs good.. but leaks oil now and burns oil..
                        only thing that was sealing that engine was the gunk.. and I cleaned it all out..
                        so now every engine I'm gonna pull and rebuild gets the tranny fluid oil change /run before I start pulling it apart, if it runs..
                        engines are always nice and clean inside..
