Little tricks you have learned on the way (CAR RELATED)
Protective eye glasses/goggles are your friend when you're working underneath a 21 year old car. Unfortunately I just learned the hard way... twice.

I never take off the cam gears anymore. I found it very easy to just slip the cam with gear off the chain. After torquing cam gears to 100 ft. lbs. 4 times, I was like "I wander if I could just slip these off together"?... " YEP"!!!
Motor rad's fail safe thermostats saved my motor about 3 times from overheating and blowing my motor. The down side is when it locks open, its locked open untill you change it(or untill you take it out and use 2 flatheads to unlock it).
If you are making a road trip to pick up parts, get pictures before you spend $20+ dollars on gas. Even crappy cell pics are better than nothing! I drove a hour there and an hour back to pick up some st sway bars tonight only to get there and its a front st sway bar and "oh I forgot I ended up using a stock rear sway bar because it worked better for me. I dont have a rear st sway bar. Trust me, it works better this way". Yah, mabby for his set up!
