Title: I'm not sexist...
Post by: JamesV6CDX on 28 June 2007, 08:00:15
BUT..

Women should be allowed nowhere near engines  >:(

Last night I was working on the Estate. Cambelt off, and camshafts locked carefully in position with the cam locking tools - ready for work on the bottom oil seal.

Whilst helping me pack up the tools - SWMBO decides that my timing kit needs to be intact, so she removes the cam-locks from the pulleys, which are right on the point where they would spring back  :o :o :o :o

ARRRRGGGHH!


Thankfully, I was able to whip them out of her hands and carefully get then back into the sprockets without them moving... Phew!
