I am just as bad as some on here in that I could fill a small book.
1) Working at first dealership, farming at night and still doing my own repair work. So very little sleep and loads of stress. I did an in frame overhaul of a neighbors tractor. I put one of the rod bearings in back wards. So no oil to the crank journal. Cost me a casket set, set of rod bearings and a new crankshaft.
2) Bought a JD 5010 to resale. It needed an engine overhaul. While I was overhauling it I also installed a M&W turbo kit. When I blocked off the ventilator pump I decided to remove all of it from the block. Including the drive gear and shaft. This leaves an open oil port in the circuit with the number one main bearing. I noticed that the oil pressure would drop off after it warmed up but still was within spec. After a few hours running it spun the number one main bearing an ruined the crankshaft and block. While I was assembling the "new" used block I figured out what I had done. Just plugged the oil port and everything worked great.
Like the old saying college is not the only place you "pay for" an education.
