And I'm not dumb enough to mess with the engines. I keep the engines and the engine "room" clean, I look for leaks, I check fluid levels, et cetera. Just about anything beyond that, I call the diesel service company. Wow this from the person that claimed he took "several mechanical engineering courses". Harry has a great strategy for engine service, let someone else do it. I guess that's ok if you only run your engine three hours a year, but we do that in a morning here. We have to break them down pretty ofter, and uh, just like a garage, sometimes we make mistakes... Indeed, I only let skilled professionals perform serious service on my boat, car, lawn tractor, et cetera, engines. After all, why would I want this sort of experience: "I was chasing a thread on the intake and in a hurry. After I ran a bolt through I somehow dropped it into the intake and I just don't know. I did have a chaser, and a small wrench in the hand as I turned away, and just never noticed the small "test" bolt was not there... I still can't believe it..." Scott Ingerfoll, motorcycle mechanic. Harry, do you think that because someone is a "skilled professional" that that means they never drop anything? You ARE stupid. |
