holy geez, man! that is really whack... i've seen similar but was wrapped in
another project and was unable to watch it unfolding... that was back in high
school...

then there was the time my mother got a gasket kit because she needed the
valve cover gaskets replaced... they had been leaking oil and she had
overtightened the valve cover bolts which caused the gaskets to split and
break... this was a '70something toyota corolla... one of the gaskets in the
kit was the exhaust gasket and she insisted that it be replaced, too...

two broken exhaust studs, several broken drill bits, and three broken EZOuts
later, she drove it to the dealership... cost was two diamond drill bits,
several more EZOuts, and several hours of labor... plus, of course, the
replacement studs which ended up being all eight of them... she didn't worry
about doing any of the other gaskets (timing chain cover, oil pump, water
pump, etc) after that...

i think she was happy to replace the vehicle after a train yard engine caught
the rear quarter panel and rolled it over a year or so later... that's another
story altogether, though ;)
