Probably back in the late 70's, early 80's I was working at a large mfg facility in the maintenance department.
I had procured the use of the shop afterhours to do some side work on a fellow employees car. I had replaced the head gasket, it was a Japanese something, overhead cam 4 cyl. The machine shop that worked the head left the valve seals out. When it started it smoked horribly!
The building had smoke alarms, and sure enough, before I could get the doors open the fire alarm went off. Here came the fire trucks, but they didn't stop...
They went all the way down to the other end of the building complex. There was a night shift working, they sent them away, said no problem, no alarm here. Somehow the alarm system wasn't assigned to the correct building.
They finally found their way to the right building. By then the smoke was cleared, I explained what had happened, they left without incident.
I don't know what went on behind the scene, or if the alarm system was ever corrected, but for the next couple years the fire department was there every few weeks doing inspections, checking extinguishers, blocked electric panels, fire lane striping, flammables storage, anything they could find to nit pick and look for reason to write a citation.
I don't think they ever found anything serious enough to write a citation, but they sure were looking!

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
