Personally that one bugged me for a while.

I know what You mean.

I made My living for 12 years in the Auto Repair world on high end cars Jaguar, Rolls Royce and others. In all that time I only had one "come back", I did a Major Service (30K miles) on an XJ6 Jaguar and missed the final torque on all 6 sparkplugs. None of them blew out of the hole but all came loose and the Customer could hear the compression leaking and realized what it was and had tools in the car to torque them down.

The next time He came in He told Me about it. I was CRUSHED/PISSED AT MYSELF for years. Every time I think of it I kick Myself a few hundred more times. He was one of the best Customers I had and kept telling Me to not worry about it. I couldn't. I gave Him 10 hours credit on Labor on His next Bill and I still was pissed at Myself.

It could have been a lot worse like blowing out of the hole, stripping the aluminum cylinder head and punching holes in the Bonnet (hood).

Now I'll go kick Myself some more...

LOL!

I just left NW GA/TN. They routinely overfill engine oil and transmission fluid, cause more is better, I guess. It’s not! I did not just pay you to Fu*k up my engine and transmission. The reasons why varied. Very sad!!
