Another example of lessons hard learned.
I can't tell you how many times I have repaired something in a hurry and thought that it would be so much faster if they would use machine screws in less critical areas. I ate crow this week and I'm still bitter about it.
I had to remove the oil pan on the 35 Chevy grain truck to clean the pickup screen. The engine has to be unbolted and jacked up but that's another bitter story. The oil pan is held on with about 15 flat head machine screws on either side. I was interested when I first found this but learned on reassembly that no matter the magnetic strength of a screwdriver it won't hold well onto a screw that is 80 years old and probably cut rather crudely when new. I've never learned so many new words in one repair. I've also never used the air compressor to blow globs of grease out of my eyes.
The up side - the old girl is back up and running
The down side - I threw a few tantrums and there might be a couple of replacement Phillips screws in there now.
