I start this thread every off season for a bit of humor and perhaps some enlightenment.

when you make a major adjustment to your seat position
be sure to check it wearing your full suit and helmet .
Don't wait until your at the track and
learn you cannot in anyway possible get your helmet on your head.



maybe you can share a story of your own?

The only request for the humor is to end your tale with
"DON'T ASK ME HOW I KNOW"

make sure your new removeable Lexan driver's window is not still at home on the work bench when you get to the track

Na. we've just all learned from yours and others mistakes after reading these DAMHIK threads over the years.

nobody is doing anything embarrassing anymore!






When installing a new cam, be sure that you have ALL the old oil cleaned off the crank gear, so that you don't mistake the circle for the dot and end up with your cam 30° advanced.

Don`t forget to tighten the return hose on your fuel cell before starting the car and saying(4-gallons later )I sure do smell a lot of gas for some reason "Don`t ask me how I know"...............good thing I don`t smoke.

Don't pull over on the Pennsylvania Turnpike 1 mi. before the State Police Barracks at 1am coming home from a race because some wus just can't wait to take a leak any longer. Don't ask me how I know.

DO YOU RECOGNIZE THIS ONE

Quote:

got a new one...

never ever break the first rule of engine building...mock up and measure everything twice before final machine work/balancing. or you might find out that pistons advertised as having a .050" dome and expected to stick up .030-.040 past the deck on an uncut block, actually stick up above the deck .083" and then find out that the piston manufacturer changed the piston 3 years ago, but never changed the online description/specs, etc.

make sure you've connected the external oil lines to the -1 head before opening the accumulator to pre oil the rocker gear, especially when your assistant has his head up close looking for signs of oil.

Before you install that new gauge you ordered to match the old ones make sure it actually matches before giving the box to your dog because he loves to tear things up. Now you cannot return it.

Make sure that after you repair the nail hole in your trailer spare (Chevy bolt pattern) that you remember to return said spare to the trailer before your next nail hole occurs towing home at 2AM (because your Dodge truck spare won't fit)...don't ask me how I know.


Old, tired, and sometimes broke down. Me, not my car...

Pay attention when testing your electric fans and watch what you are going at all times, to avoid sticking a thumb in it and lifting ALL the flesh over your nail off. DAHMHIK

Don't wiggle the fire bottle brackets down onto the bottle with the safety pin out. Also don't mistake the oil accumulator switch for the on/off switch with no oil pressure gauge line connected. Don't ask how I know.

Don't forget to screw on an oil filter before priming your new motor or - how to empty an 8 Qt oil pan in less than 15 seconds - or how to lube your new tennies for life. Don't ask me how I know.

Assuming adjustable Milodon oilpump relief valve is correctly set, then fire up and with 120++ psi the oilfilter warps and dumps sticky oil all over the carpeted garage floor and primes the shiny Hemi with dust adhesive....And with the Schumacher mounts and headers it is almost unaccessible to adjust ASK ME HOW I KNOW!!
