Manual Survey

[Ozarker]

I've seen guys pry against anything.

I have a full sized Chevy Conversion Van that lost a timing chain while I was doing about 70mph on I-70 about 10 years ago. Of course the valves stopped moving immediately but the pistons didn't. After I coasted to a stop, I got to call a friend and tow it the rest of the way home.

Not having a lot of time and needing it fixed quickly, I sent it to a local garage to have a rebuilt short block installed.

When I got it back, the engine cover didn't seem to fit right so I took it off. One of the morons who worked at the shop had apparently used a pry bar to move the engine for some reason but he had used the sheet metal around the engine cover hole to pry against. Took me half a day with body hammers to straighten up all that sheet metal so that the cover fit back on and sealed.

One thing I hate. Manuals in 12 languages that say NOTHING.

Get a hold of a Pitney Bowes manual and try to change something on their postage meter. That will tech you how NOT to do a manual/w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

Manuals on the website is the very best. Of course, there needs to be a clear indication as to which model revision one covers, and which I have...

One thing that a lot of you seem to have forgotten.

Not everyone has access to the Internet, and some of those that do have access don't know how to use it or are intimidated by it.

Just food for thought.

Ozarker,

I would have to add brakes to your device for use in my parking area.
