Cranking the engine, a foreign audio emanated from underneath, but it started. I wondered briefly if the starter was starting to go, in addition to headed to work.
Stop for gas, engine off. Go to restart, starter motor spins but does non engage. Problem. Crawling closed to nether the van I tin come across 1 of the starter bolts has backed out. Odd. Upon farther inspection the bolt is genuinely sheared off at the threads. Son of a bitch. Other bolt is asset fast. I jam the starter dorsum into seat to profits alongside the cry upwardly gear in addition to pray to whatsoever god awake at this nighttime hour. It lights, but I tin experience a computer programme starting to become to hell. Course divergence to Advance Auto for screw extractors, starter bolts in addition to in all probability some to a greater extent than drill bits. Leave van running, promise nobody steals it.
Six hours afterwards I am inwards fifty-fifty deeper shit than when I started. Fourteen broken drill bits, metallic shavings inwards my eyes, strained cervix in addition to haemorrhage knuckles are nix compared to the penultimate horror in addition to in conclusion tragedy. The screw extractor shears off inwards the hole in addition to that familiar sinking feeling returns.
Pressing on, I drill closed to the extractor in addition to snap some other vi drill bits. When I finally complete what is turning into a colossal fuck upwardly of my ain design, in that place are no chunks of drill flake left, the screw extractor is out, but in addition to then are the threads. Ok, no big deal, but run a bolt through the live on yesteryear in addition to tighten it from the bottom. I uncovering an appropriate length bolt in addition to piece tightening it the live on blow occurs. The casting on the engine block cracks in addition to ii chunks of starter mounting pad autumn to the ground. Well, if you lot are gonna screw yourself, do it existent good.
