Finaly worked on my car

[NO_H2O]

Well It has an hour of run time so far. I was pulling the lifters to inspect them and got 2 pair done. I cut my left thumb while doing it. I finished that cylinder, washed the cut out, put some triple antibiotic cream on it and a band-aid on it and went to work that night. The next day it woke me up. Thumb was throbbing and swollen about twice its normal size. Went to the Dr., got a big shot of antibiotic in the a$$ and sent to a hand specialist because it was nasty red from the tip of the thumb well into the hand. It is much better now and I am going for my last (I hope) follow up today at 3:15. You hand is not worth much without a usable thumb.
Moral of the story. Break-in oil with all that ZDDP in a small cut can turn ugly quick.

Wow, glad you you get to keep the thumb.
