Note to Self, Things NOT to do when working on cars! Options

Note #1 In the future, remember to put a drain pan under the torque converter when pulling the engine on an American car with automatic trans to avoid having the shop look like something out of a cheap horror flick due to 8 quarts of ATF on the floor.

Note #2 In the future, remember to reset the air compressor to 90psi to run air tools, 150psi seems to do very bad things to the impact.

I'm hoping that by making a public spectacle of my stupidity I’ll remember not to make these mistakes again. Thank you for your help. Hey, this is a lot cheaper than real therapy.

heh heh. I once forgot to tighten the oil cooler lines on a diesel after doing some surgery. Do you know what diesel engine oil looks like? To quote the Beverly Hillbillies "Black gold, Texas T." I still get to look at the trail I left down the driveway and into the street and then the U-turn 1/2 block down the street and the trail back up the driveway and into the garage...dang.

Have fun,
Kevin
