3) When I work on my engine, NOBODY is allowed in the garage.....I'm serious.... I lock the door. You would be surprised at the silly mistakes that can happen while you are yacking/shooting the bull. Steps get skipped or forgotten etc.
( Tod74 ) man thats some good stuff,we have a friend that comes by to ( HELP ) and I allways. make damn sure i give him the shortest ratchet and the shortest wrench's we have.,because if you dont, he will snap it off,,and then he says,,if it aint tight it aint gonna hold,,but he does try to help..it gets pretty amusing sometimes..
