Yep! That's what I do when
diving to do bottom
work.
But yeah, it was a bit scary at first. I thought I was going to have to pull the head on a brand new motor.
I've been in the machinery business all my life so I have a set of universal laws that I live by, in this case it was #2.
1. Law of Mechanical
Repair -After your hands become coated with grease, your nose will begin to itch and you'll have to pee.
2. Law of Gravity - Any tool, nut, bolt, screw, when dropped, will roll under something or to the least accessible corner.
3. Law of Probability -The probability of being watched is directly proportional to the stupidity of your act. See my #919 post here:
http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/...tml#post490736
4. Law of Random Numbers - If you dial a wrong number, you never get a busy signal and someone always answers.
5. Law of the Alibi - If you tell the boss you were late for
work because you had a flat tire, the very next morning you will have a flat tire.
6. Variation Law - If you change lines (or traffic lanes), the one you were in will always move faster than the one you are in now (works every time).
7. Law of the Bath - When the body is fully immersed in
water, the telephone rings. (Happened three times yesterday)
8. Law of Close Encounters -The probability of meeting someone you know increases dramatically when you are with someone you don't want to be seen with.
9. Law of the Result - When you try to prove to someone that a machine won't work, it will.
10. Law of Biomechanics -The severity of the itch is inversely proportional to the reach.
11.. Law of the Theater and Hockey Arena - At any event, the people whose seats are furthest from the aisle, always arrive last. They are the ones who will leave their seats several times to go for
food,
beer, or the
toilet and who leave early before the end of the performance or the
game is over. The folks in the aisle seats come early, never move once, have long gangly legs or big bellies, and stay to the bitter end of the performance.. The aisle people also are very surly folk.
12. The Coffee Law - As soon as you sit down to a cup of hot coffee, your boss will ask you to do something which will last until the coffee is cold.
13. Murphy's Law of Lockers - If there are only two people in a locker room, they will have adjacent lockers.
14. Law of Physical Surfaces -The chances of an open-faced jelly sandwich, or anything else that stains, landing face down on a floor, are directly correlated to the newness and cost of the carpet or rug.
15... Law of Logical Argument - Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about. (The forums)
16. Brown's Law of Physical Appearance - If the clothes fit, they're ugly.
17. Oliver's Law of Public Speaking - A closed mouth gathers no feet.
18. Wilson's Law of
Commercial Marketing Strategy - As soon as you find a product that you really like, they will stop making it. (This has happened so many times that I buy in bulk, which should last me the rest of my life, at my age).
19. Doctors' Law - If you don't feel well, make an appointment to go to the doctor, by the time you get there you'll feel better or heal up. But don't make an appointment, and you'll stay sick.
20. Personal,
Boat Law - If the
weather is good and have the time, the high tide is at the wrong times to launch the
boat.
Still adding to the list....................._/)
If I hadn't started messing with handhelds years ago (self program) I'd be in a mess by now.
