The most stupid thing a mechnic has said to you
Hi everyone - we have had a lot of mind numbing posts because of this long winter -- URGH!! So I though I would likewise start this for all to vent until the ice is off the water.
Ok from the title -- what is the most stupid thing a mechanic has ever said to you?
Rules:
You can't use the following:
1. They all run this way
2. Don't worry- it will take a while for the parts to break in
3. Just watch it and let me know if there are any issues
4. It shouldn't cost much
5. What crack
Have fun
And yes spring is around the corner

Ok this one doesnt include new ls motors. Discussion was about my 350s in my formula. Had it in the driveway working on it and a "mobile" marine "mechanic" pulled up to see if I needed someone to help. So I talked to him for a few mins and as he was walking away I said "hey what's the firing order for a 350?" He said "uh uh uh uh I'm not sure off the top of my head, depends on the year, marine or auto?" I said have a nice day. Lol

" Um Um Um the mechanic must of got called away and someone took over for him to finish the job." As I'm on the side of the road with 2 of the 4 bearings were froze due to someone not greasing them. At a trailer place.
Stroked by hand and tuned by ear .
