Default Gotta read of my troubles today...

Ok...so I've been painting my valve cover lately...looks pretty damn nice (little darker than I wanted but oh well). So my friend and I decide we'll put it and the gaskets on in the morning and head off to our day of fun at the amusement park in KC. so we get the gasket on...get the spark plug seals on fine...and we set it down on there.....damn it's pretty......put the grommets on...put he first cap nut on there and start tightening.....get tojust about the breaking point. Ok....one more little click...........*SNAP*..........oh shite..........broke my damn engine bolt......wow that sucks. :jawdrop: So I know where another Accord is...a parts car. It's down by the amusement park. So we take his Probe (GAG) and got to the park with our friends for a while...go on lunch break to the junkyard. We find the Accord and guess what!?! Both of those bolts are gone. :twitch: So we go in search of another 16 valve engine. We searched for 30 minutes and came upon a '90 Civic that had a 16 valve engine. So we take on the bolts off of it and try to take the other off...my socket adapter breaks. JESUS! :madfawk: So we go back to the park with the bolt (and a couple things I got on the 5 finger discount...washer pump and an emblem). :thumbup: We leave everything in his car. We drive home. We find out the bolt from the Civic is just a SMIDGE smaller.......OH WELL! Threadlocked it and stuck it on there. You can't even tell the difference. Sure as hell hope that works! Taht's my day......WHEW!
