1. As a young keen rev head i built my first Clevo. It was a 302 so i got 351 crank and rods off a mate and chucked them in, added a whole heap of other goodies. Spent alot of time and money only to start it up and hear a horrible noise coming from it.
It never occured to me that the cylinders need that fresh half inch honed out. The cam retainer was backward too, that squeeled its tits off without the oil getting to it.
I took it to a pro and got it done right. 10 years later the donk still lives and runs perfect in racingdorks jetspint boat.

2. Fitted a cargo barrier to a then brand new VP Wagan, as i drilled through the wheel arch i drilled straight through the tyre.
