[QUOTE="BillM, post: 4201595, member: 45785"] Probably better than that, with most so-called techs and mechanics these days. Did a lot of that learning from books, and more than a bit hanging out with mechanics. Gotta be careful of the mechanics you hang out with, though. One guy delighted in watching me flinch every time he threw the butt he'd been smoking into the pan of gasoline we were using for brake cleaner. We were in my garage, but Clovis, NM is nearly as windy as Oklahoma, and the wind was coming in the main garage door and funneling through the door at about 40mph. If the wind had dropped for just a moment at the wrong time, we'd have probably blown up and burned... There is a reason I have a parts washer in my shop. :yikes2: [/QUOTE]
