Whenever he worked on a vehicle at home my sister and i were required to be front and center handing tools and cleaning parts. We learned how to rebuild standard transmissions, rebuild engines, and do tuneups back in the distributor days when one had to gauge points and adjust timing manually. Can’t do squat now without a plethora of cables and computers hooked up to the modern engines To the plus side, 100K miles back  in the day was the death knell of an engine. Now 3X that number is normal.</blockquote>
