Pat, don't you go hungry not eating?? Seems like all you do is work on your truck over your lunch hour, I don't think I could do that, I need my meal!!!

Great stories!!! Reminds me of a guy I worked for in college shingling roofs. He would tell "stories" exactly like that!!

Glad you got the pump in. Have you noticed any improvements??

Reminds me of slipping a check into a Blackstone sample that didn't have the inner bottle sealed well-enough.

They sent the paper check back along with the report.

Its replacement went back to them in an envelope without oil.

At least they didn't get "revenge" by giving me a bad report!

The check goes OUTSIDE the baggie now-a-days.

Good work, Pat. I've seen Jim (rat49f6) do an hpop in half an hour to 45 minutes from hood opening to hood closing without even being in much of a rush.

Of course even after the 6th or so hpop he still refuses to let me go under the truck and take the lower side of the EBP tube off BEFORE he lets all the coolant onto the ground. Always end up with a wet sleeve...

I gotta admit, you're a better man than me. I hope that you didn't leave the extra oil on the parking lot.
