Somebody must have told them by putting a bullet on the motor,they'll get more bang for their buck.

Re: Things that make you go.....huh!!!!
no lie, in high school shop class we had "one of those guys". he was a cocky know-all. we all had to do an engine tear down and rebuild. he was doing an old 289 and every time he left for a bathroom break I would take a socket from his signed out tool kit and stuff it in the crankcase or where ever. at the end of the week we did tool inventory and he was short about $80 in tools. teacher made him pay. then on Monday we took turns starting our engines. needless to say his made some BAD noises. lots of knocking and rattling made the teacher give him a "D". then we all watched as him and teach tore it down to see what he "did wrong". the look on his face was priceless. there was bent rods, broken piston skirts, mangled push rods etc. the teacher said nothing but he knew what happened (he didnt like the guy anyway).

Re: Things that make you go.....huh!!!!
I guess that is shop justice. I hope the guy/girl learned. I don't know about destroying and motor to prove a point, but to each his own.

Re: Things that make you go.....huh!!!!
Too bad about the engine..I think the teacher should have stood a little taller though.
