[V8] Amusing find

[toml99 at todomundo.com]

Hey, well I was taking the starter out of the Pearl car(DOTC) and  
found something funny.  I should say I was FINISHING taking the  
starter out of the car, as I had started 2 days ago, and the top bolt  
took me an embarassingly long time.(whole event took more than the  
book time on a timing belt).   Biggest problem was I'd taken off the  
only 10mm allen I could find(tranny bolt), and the real starter bolt  
was down below,buried under an inch of hay/hydraulic goo(car sat in a  
cow field for some time).  In the end I'd cut a piece of 10mm allen  
about an inch long, and got my "10mm ratchetting box end over the  
end, and with a 8" piece of 1/2" pipe....got it loose.  I just  
finished a complete stone bathroom remodel in a 100 yo house that  
came out incredible, but the satisfaction of getting that bolt to  
turn was soooo much more fulfilling.  Made my day.  Anyway, might  
just take some pics and write it up since the knowledge base seems  
like it's missing this  (factory manual was no help at all), but may  
need some help getting it posted as I'm not up on the "wiki" code.   
See if anything seems amiss in the photo....Sincerely Tom
