I usually just wait until the night before to see if my car is even running.
Makes it more exciting! |

Today I discovered that the crankshaft pulley had been gnawing on an oil line. I have a pet Guinea pig, so am sympathetic. Not gonna work though in the long run.

Not gonna work though in the long run. can you use an aftermarket holder or strap to bolt it out of the way? Well, I have to change the oil anyway, so I am getting a length of new hose today hopefully. BTW, as to wrenching, when I was putting the car together, I went for AN fittings with adaptors for the lines to the tank and cooler etc. The return is one inch line, AN16. Well, that requires wrenches to drain the oil.  My son and I were playing around on the garage apron with a DIY foundry (made from a wastepaper basket and a flower pot). He was exploring casting intakes. I wanted in. So, a quick cut from a plywood scrap on the bandsaw, press wood model into damp sand, pour aluminum on top, and voila - AN wrenches. See if you can spot the store-bought one! The feedstock was pop cans, car parts and other aluminum scrap. But. They work. Have to drill some holes for authenticity. |
