I bet my car is angry after being parked for one year, yesterday I was installing (at last!) the engine, I was pushing it in holding my hands on the heater outlets of the fan shroud when my left hand slipped and wham! suddenly I had an unvelievable pain in my left wrist...after a while the pain became livable so I finished tightening everything; this morning it kept hurting so I went to the hospital, it turns out I sprained my wrist, so I'll be single handed for two weeks! oh, and I don't think I can install traction bar, filter, oil lines, header, carbs & linkage with just one hand right?  Grin

D.B.O. Not a club; a state of mind.

Ouch! That's a bummer... hope that you're healed soon and enjoying your car, again, soon.

I hear that. My wife's convertible hates me. The car is definitely female of questionable "orientation". I guess she don't like it when I lift up her skirt. I get bit and spill blood every time!
