Whelp, I've been pulling some pretty heavy hours and last weekend my carquest water pump took a dive, so I got back today and swapped it out for a pinned pump, well I got all done and went to start it and click, couldn't figure out what the **** was going on, then I remembered I had my flywheel lock in. 20 mins later... Suppose I'll start drinking

Never cleaned my motor! Haha but I can imagine that creates a problem right off the bat, especially if your at a car wash

We where painting a 69 vette at a buddies shop and had the motor covered in plastic. Someone fired it up to move it out of the way. It crushed the air intake covers (double pumper) and I'm not sure if it damaged anything else.

Took me 2 or three days to find where my under hood light plug went on my 01. Didn't stop me from driving it but it was driving me nuts. Other than that loosing a few headlight pins on the track somewhere has happend to me to.

Working on my truck one day, stuffed a rag in the intake horn to keep stuff out. Reconnected everything and started it up and it smoked like crazy .... lucky it didn't eat the rag!

I left a screwdriver inside my intake for a year until it decided to go in my turbo...took 2 weeks for me to figure that out. You're not alone man:rofl:

Replaced a cracked SoCal head, and forgot to connect the #8 injector wires under the valve cover. Drove it out of the shop, and it went into limp mode. :eek: Back into the shop, and back under the valve covers. Ran great once the injectors were all hooked up.

Dad was working on the '79 olds diesel and started it with a rag over the intake. Many hours later after bumping the starter and pulling on it with needle nose and screwdrivers, said screw it. Started it up, no interference noises, then floored it several times (probably to red line) and we picked the pieces up in the driveway after they exited the exhaust.

Don't think you are the only one who has done something bizarre. Most won't admit to it.
