I don’t know how many of you subscribe to Rock Auto’s monthly newsletter, but I always find it worth a quick read, especially their reader-submitted Repair Mistakes and Blunders. I actually sent them a story several years ago, one I am pretty sure I have told here before, of the time a friend of mine and I blew up the front brakes in his Willy’s Jeepster. That ultimately successful experience is what encouraged me to buy my Alpine in 1978. I had a second one published a few years later about my first attempt at adjusting the valves on my Alpine. (That is here someplace, too.) I thought I was done, but recently remembered something from when I did my first engine swap. They just published that:
