im a picky bastard when it comes to motors,i use bore gauges and also plasti gauge,clean clean clean and you got a motor hahahah cant clean them enough


I sold and later bought and had reconditioned 1000’s of cars in my career but high school was the last time i worked on them except for a brake job or two and some smaller repairs over the years.

In Denver i sold high line used cars like turbo porsch carerras and ferrari 308’s. That was fun.

All the guys in school who did the best work came from families with farm or mechanical backgrounds. But they learned to do things better and sometimes properly.

i agree,hands on and tough lessons learned thru sweat,the more you sweat the quicker you learn,same with my gardening,ive heard and seen just about every way to do it proper,books ,microscopes and lab coats have never taught me but one thing,a gadget to drain your pocket and dont work in the real world,just saying if you dont have or even can afford all the gadgets how can you feed your family ,what if no electric no machinery no help,how you gonna act,grandpa always told me there plenty of easy ways,but what if hahahah,i never even heard of nutrients until mid 70's and they had plenty of posion without regulations in them days,came down to hard work and reading the plant,animal the sky and moon,lmao
