I feel like as a diy person, that emoji should be blocked from me, unless I pass a test or something.

Metalcloak baller joints.

I am sure your like me you have a great ability to rip something apart watch how ya took it apart and put it back together in reverse order. To me that the main quality of any good mechanic

I had to learn the put back together thing, but absolutely. That’s how I learn. When I rebuilt an engine in my one bedroom condo 15 years ago, I went to the grocery store and bought like 30 cheap Tupperware containers to label with sharpies. One per cylinder, one per carburetor, etc, etc, etc. even though so many parts and every single bearing were being replaced, I wanted to be able to look back at what came out, and their condition at failure. A ring got caught on a sleeve port. So disassembly, resleeve and bore all 6, then the rear fun. Every piston, every bearing, every seal, every hose, all replaced. I only kept the block, crank, and rods.

It worked really well. First and only engine rebuild for me thus far. Lots of drawings. It had a very complicated external hose system for oil recirculation. I drew both sides to show the routes of the hoses before removing them all. Since I bought new bulk hose and replaced them all.

I dont speak Spanish but I did drive through south Texas once. 😂🤭
I stayed at a holiday in express a few times as well. But I feel like the Hyatt place in Moab made me smarter. Cuz they have a bar.

Valid question. But I’ve figured out the formula for “full smart”. 2 imperial ciders, one buffalo chicken anything.
