I posted this a while back when a gentleman reported the starter in his Cub quit working. He pull the starter to find a rag wrapped in the starter drive and flywheel. Here is mine One of my worst mistakes happened early in my years as a mechanic. I had taken the intake off of a Chrysler 318 V8 to clean carbon out of the manifold exhaust crossover. Just before break I had a coworker help me set it back on there. Well the shop was not real well lit and sure enough I left the rags I had laid in there to keep crud out of the bottom of the engine. Not long after that the owner was back with oil light flickering problems. Well on that engine the distributor/oil pump gears are open to the valley of the engine. The gears grabbed the rags and started fraying them. The fuzz got in the oil pump pick up and started to plug it. Before I was done I was putting bearings in that car. It just happened to be the car that belonged to the preacher of the church the guys that owned the shop went to. Lesson learned. Now I will wait for added replies from rustred, woreout and Tractor Vet,,,,,,,,,,guess I better just go to sleep.
