so the saab sat around all summer and i went to go get it ready for winter about a month ago. it was having issues starting and idleing at that time. i took it apart and fixed some stuff. when i put it back together i lipped one of the o-rings on one of the injectors so it was spraying fuel an losing fuel pressure. no biggie. i took it apart again, replaced the o-rings, and put it together. ran yay, this was last saturday. so i also happened to notice that it was leaking something. i had today off so i planned on finding what it was. found i had a coolant leak. couldnt find from where though. after spenting about 45 minutes trying to find the leak i noticed that when i would run the car for extended amounts of time i could smell a burning smell and my exhaust was real white. great my head gasket... well ive still got this puddle where the hell is it coming from. more searching. hear a funny bubbling noise, wheres it coming from. well it turns out when i pulled the intake manifold off theres some coolant passages that run through it, mainly to feed the coolant temp sensor. when i put the car back together i apparently forgot about this thing called a gasket. so coolant is leaking from the passage to the sensor down into the manifold, hence the burning of coolant, and its also leaking out the underside of the manifold, hence the puddle. so i just wasted nearly 2 hours because im the retard that forgot the gasket.

Its ok, common mistake. Ive had gasket fail brand new so dont beat yourself up over it.

ok ill satisfy you....



HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA YOU SUCK!!!!


now on a serious level....


i would have probably done the same thing. i get ahead of myself sometimes lol. it happens.

that sucks...forgetting stuff always sucks

my brother forgot to take a rag out from behind my water pump on a winter beater I had and I found out the hard way the next day when the rag caught fire and fried all my starte and battery wires. it was late and we where trying to hurry up and get the job done. Shit happens, theres niothing you can do about it.

Ever forget to put the oil drain plug back in?

haha once my mechanic left a little pick by my wipers on my gsx and it was there for a week..i stopped down one day and he was looking at the car and saw it hahaha

Ever put WAY over the amount of oil needed into a car

lol

YUP

how much over? I may have you beat. lol

i once let midas put control arms in my first car, and they put them on backwards... so my steering was a blast for the 1/4 mile away and back. they tried to charge me for the labor to take them out and reinstall them... i ended up getting reimbursed for all the labor and just had to pay for the parts. still not worth it.... oh and have never gone back


also had a friend that got a macco paint job and the masked off a good 4 inch section of the body, he painted his white car black, and when he got it back he notice a bulge in the paint. ended up being the tape, he peeled it off and away went his orange peel paint.... peeled the peel . but yeah so they were suposed to take all the paint off and redo it.... but they just spray over the patch and got paint on his rear wheel and tire... TARDED!

i forget to do crap like that all the time lol, ever forget to put the supercharger back on one of the military trucks and try to watch a 13 ton wrecked drive off at combat speed on just a turbo and be like o shit i have ur supercharger. atleast ur not getting shot at while doing it :-)
