Or another small block with a pretty normal intake oil leak. Did he pull the intake and replace the gasket? Of course not. He took RTV and forced it into the gap. Of course that stuff was all through the engine.

How about a PO cutting the exhaust off close to where it connects to the manifold. Then using something that looked to be a combination of duct tape and jb weld to try and put it back together?

Mismatch length shocks on the front of a car. (yes I’m serious).

How about a PO cutting the fuse box out of a Chevelle. I said CUTTING. The entire bundle of wires where it exited the fuse box. Then “reinstalling” by simply twisting the cut wires together and taping them with electrical tape. And this was in a car that the guy had paid a body shop to totally strip, replace rusted sheetmetal and do the body work. I know the shop, he paid GOOD money for this. Then what did he do? He RATTLE CANNED the paint job on.
That sounds like a tweeker.
