    How not to do things - Wrong answers only

    So we decided to change out the thermostat, apparently the owner prior had the bright idea of using silicone or some type of universal gasket material on the thermostat housing and the tube behind it. Got a good laugh and wanted to share, people amaze me sometimes.

    "Hey bud, we forgot to buy new o-rings and these old ones are all flattened out... I bet some silicone will fix it!"

            If you lose your oil cap - a balled-up gym sock is a good temporary fix.

            (It has the strength of being tested on (in) an S54).

                    Holy shit, wow.
                    I thought mine was bad, but not that bad.

                    I turned the crank w/timing tool in place breaking pin in 1/2, down to the pan it went after breaking one of the plastic oil grates on the head. Luckily a bendy magnet pulled the whole broken piece out. Oh man...
