Just don't open your mouth while operating the equipment, obviously.

Good life advice in general, I suppose.

I think if they take time to make sure the silhouette is not only rendered as a cross section to better illustrate the common ejection path for rapidly expanding component rich exhaust, but screaming as well, might be time to read every loving word in that manual.

Yeah, a reverse-GIS hit an imgur thread where that seems to be the consensus among serious answers.

Good thought to image search. More GISing finds similar illustrations in slide shows about welding safety so I feel pretty good about calling it.

That's more a horrible owner failure. The Jeep did exactly what he asked it to do. He just made the mistake of asking it to flex while it was tired, so it responded by laying down on its side for a nap. :colbert:

I hate myself for not having a decent phone to record this incident. But we got a 3rd LKQ motor in last saterday and were doing a leak down test on it cause duh #1 was great 90 +psi, same with 2 and 3. get to 4. not a loving thing. Blowing straight out of the exhaust. We can see through the manifold hole a rust ridge on the valve. Call over the machinist from the shop down the street to see if he feels like ripping the head apart that day cause again its for a Mazda that is the owners buddies. Motherfucker grabs a hammer and a brass punch and beats the poo poo out of the top of the valve. Viola! compression bumps up to 90. Engine runs fine. Apart from being started with a converter full of oil from the last engine and chalking up the shop and consequently the entire highway after we open all the doors up. Its a leased car so I guess it only has to make it another year or so. Set of complimentary winter tires to make the owner happy and all in all I think we actually made money off it.

I've almost been there. Crawling up a section in L, start tipping so I flick the shifter quick trying to hit R but get D and give it a bunch of gas. Fortunately I didn't flop it. That time.

Yep, that's an easy one to do in an automatic. A friend rolled 3 times in his SAS'd Bronco II because of that, couldn't get it out of reverse (he was driving up a ledge in reverse, showing off, and one front tire dropped into a hole... back end came up, it was all over) in time. If he'd either had a not-janky shifter* or a manual that rig would still be wheeling today most likely.

* It was supposed to be a test run, he'd just finished building it and caging it. Got cocky and completely wrecked the thing on its first day out, the second roll was harsh and tweaked the whole frame and cab and caved in part of the top of the cage. Ended up pulling the axles/tires/suspension and scrapping the rest.

Yeah, it was completely melted through on that one side. The best we can figure is that the angle iron hold down strap got energized somehow(either a short or somehow crossed the terminals with a wrench or something) and melted through it. It definitely didn't blow up because there was no case cracks or bulging.

That looks like a friction melt from a rubbing tire or something, not an internal failure. Crazy.

Its why I always suggest a tensioner on older cars when doing anything involving the belt to cover my rear end.

^^^^ that's what I do with every belt job tensioner idler if only one and the belt. gently caress putting a belt on to have an idler or tensioner poo poo out a week later. But lucky for me my new boss doesn't like making the customer get what is needed. Just the broken part. Like the Honda civic he diagnosed before it even pulled into the shop. I'm his words "the lady said the wiper motor stopped so it's what we're replacing." The next day I pull the cover off to find one of the arms in the tranny poo poo the bed. And instead of replacing the whole tranny like I said he wants to only replace the broken arm.:suicide:

That bit me in the rear end myself. Didn't replace the tensioner when it shat out a belt, now anytime I hit a decent puddle the alternator light comes on. :doh:

Used a Dayco belt, so it's not like I went with a crappy belt.
