One kid in the neighborhood got an older Ford for his first car. He was having some trouble with it, so a group of us from church that work on cars all looked it over and concluded he needed a new Manifold Air Pressure sensor. Imagine my surprise when a week later, he is driving a different car. I ask, "What happened to the old one?" Here the lower radiator hose sprung a leak, and the coolant light came on. The kid had to get to work, so he kept driving. Now, you'd think the kid would at least check to see what would cause the light to come on, but no, he starts it up and proceeds to drive HOME from work. On the way home, it starts to run poorly, but he just gives it more throttle, and keeps driving. When he stops in the driveway, it just dies. Next morning, he can't understand why it won't start. Turns out he ran the entire water jacket dry. The engine didn't even have enough compression to blow my finger off out of the spark plug hole with the plug removed. I tore the motor down just for the heck of it. He cracked the cast iron head between the intake and exhaust valves in ALL 4 cylinders. The bores were covered in vertical gouges from the expansion of the pistons, and the pistons could now be pushed around in the bores. Yep, I think he managed to kill it!!!

He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
