    The only engine bay I recall sitting in was my '67 Thunderbird. Not too bad, of course the experience was ruined by trying to wrestle a cast iron Ford big block head in and out of it. Those things are damn heavy.

    The Chevy wasnt cramped, but the fucking retards that built the engine, decided it was a good idea to put every bolt, or other pointy thing, aiming straight up!

    Those are one of the most EASY vehicles to fix!

    Open hood, close hood, sign title. Done.

    Oh, no doubt, I;m just saying that the parts are awfully heavy, I think the intake manifold weighed 80 pounds.

    No....It took 2 days because the GM quick fuel connection tool didnt work. Your supposed to put it on the fuel line, push the connector tward the tool, and the lines pop off. in THIS instance, we had to cut the tool in half, use 1 half of the tool, and only THEN did it actually work. OH!! I forgot the 4 5mm studs that need to be removed on each half of the valve cover.....1/2" away from the firewall.......with no access. Yes. The Valve covers are 2 PEICES! And....get this.....The lower valve cover has a gasket. Not out of the ordinary, right? The top valve cover? WAS FUCKING GLUED TO THE LOWER ONE! WITH SUPER STRONG FUCK THE CONSUMER GLUE!

    More notes......When dropping a wrench thats not being used, from the top of the engine bay, falling about 4 feet to the ground, the wrench will hit the concrete, and stop. When dropping a wrench you are useing, all parts will fall off, and scatter in a 40 foot radius.

    Sounds:
    "ting" : Bad news. Bolt just fell into valve train.
    "TING": Bolt fell on frame

    "PING TING BANG CLANK POW BOOM tink": Wrench fell down, and hit every fucking important thing on the way to the gound.

    "SNAP": You broke the wrench. Give it a proper disposal consisting of throwing it accross the street. Loud screems help


    "SHIT THEN FUCK!" : Scream made when broke wrench

    No video. I think it was fun. I got some funny looks when I was cleaning all of the SUPER FUCK glue off of the heads, while singing a song from Kiss. Then...I got into an argument with my buddy about weather or not "Boy George" was a male or female. He said he was a girl, I said "Who gives a fuck?".

    Also to note:

    When useing a 2 foot Heel bar to remove an injector, it WILL launch the injector 9 feet......And possibly remove the injector cup at the same time......which will break when it lands.
