Today I spent a couple hours trying to undo a couple of things the PO had done - the valve covers were leaking, so he thought he would put a liberal amount of gasket sealer on the cork gasket and the head, so it wouldn't leak. I don't know why they would leak; he must have spent at least 5 bucks on them at a garage sale somewhere. I hate de-doing things the PO didn't do right, but that's part of the deal, I guess. So, without incriminating anyone on the board, what is the silliest thing you've seen a PO do to your truck? There's gotta be a couple good stories out there.
