[Spits] Timing chain cover nut

[Doug Braun]

It would be more accurate to say that "they BUILT cars
that ..."

British auto design and manufacturing collapsed years
ago, especially after the Japanese auto industry rose.

As for getting the crankshaft nut off, I always use a
big plumber's monkey wrench.  I fit it over the nut
with the handle resting on the frame rail, and hit the
starter.
