Good idea- and if it helps prevent someone else from 'Doing a Dan',
so much the better ;-)
(ob. Dan Hughes Day dumb thing follows: )
Whilst removing the engine from an old LGC, I chained the engine
up to the hoist, and undid all of the mounting bolts. Confident
that the engine was free, I pumped the jack handle- pump, pump,
Pump, PUMP. Hmmm- this seems awful heavy for such a puny engine.
Oh, duh, heres the problem- forgot to undo this bolt right here
AND HOLY#@&% I HAVE A FACE FULL OF ENGINE as it rapidly parts
company with the chassis. Luckily, the only thing damaged was my
pride. I now have *immense* respect for jacks and hoists- lotsa
energy stored up in these beasts.
