    300 engine hammered

     



    Working with a group of guys in a car club(not naming) on a ford 300 6 cylinder engine after we had put much$$$$ into it "Bill" got pissed because he was raching a new plug in and it broke so whats he do. He takes a 4 lb. small mall and actually drives the plug into the block. You cannot even see it. Can't wait to see what the inside looks like."Bill" has already said he will pay for a new block if needed which I'm sure will need. Hows that for stupidity????????

    Sounds like "anger issues". :-)~

    I would usually throw wrenches away from the car....until one bounced back and left a dent. That was about 35 years ago! :-)

    LOL

    He wasn't one of the guys on that one Autozone commercial was he? You know, the one where they show these two guys when they were kids and the one was hammering a square through a round hole while his freind is standing there saying, "keep hammering, it'll go." Years later they are installing a car battery.........

    Well we found whats left of the plug sitting on top of a piston along with part of the block that broke off. No problem he says I'll get another block. Well the other guys are pretty pissed off because we had just put a new cam in, had it bored.040 and did some head work. Now it all has to come out. We all told Bill he's going to have to have the new engine bored, etc. but the SOB told us the hell with you all. Since he started the club he told us to get out. Well I took exception to it and he threw a wrench that just missed me to which I beat the living s--- out of him. Now he's going to sue me because I use to box. If that don't beat all.

    There's lead in the water, I swear there is. It's the only thing that could explain so many goofy people.

    Red face Lead in the water?

     



    Nah, its not lead in the water. Ever watch the X-files? It bovine growth hormone thats secretly implanted in there by the Govt. Seriously though, if you get an impartial judge, you will walk away from this. He has shown twice that he has problems controlling his temper, and he threw the wrench at you first. No judge in his right mind will clear him of that.

    Talked with my lawyer today and he contacted the police Dept. and they said I had all the right to press charges against him. I took my punishment out on him and he has since called me to apologise. Told him to get to a anger managment session. The other members have told him that as far as the club he started, its over, and not to show his face around the club were going tostart. From what I've heard from others this guy is a ticking time bomb. He put his wife in the hospital years ago(he's on his 3rd). I also told him I didn't want to see him around our house and if I did I would make it awful sorry for him if you get my drift.
