Went out to get under the hood to adjust AFPR (48psi by the way) and she bit me!!!!!



I have been under that hood a kajillion times with the motor running and the worse I have had done was header burns. I was blippin the throttle and I drew my hand back to low off the plenuym...RIGHT INTO THE DAMN ALTERNATOR!!!!!! Blades got me good!!!

Lesson learned....Never think you are comfortable!!!!!

Dude theres something on your hand!!

 

Yeah some soap and water will clean that over spray off easy.

 

overspray eh

at least you werent sticking your head down where your alternator is....i would hate to see those pics

 

ouch... that looks like it hurt a lil

 

Stop whining. Alternators add character.

 

yeah that pic looks worse than a paint ball shot from close distance

 

Ole lady pulls a Raymond on me....She tells me "to call yourself an idiot....I am to tired"

Hurt like hell when it happened....But now it seems to be getting better. Thank *** those things are not sharp...Would made my palm look like salami.

Taking the car out in the A.M. and then to a Car show Saturday. Hope she does not let me down...Showing her off to all of my FORD buddies.

A friend lost the tip of his finger in an alternator belt mishap. I say you are very lucky.

 

aah that's nothing, check out what my alternator did...





almost 6 months and still healing, you're right, I learned my lesson, never feel comfortable, never trust anything.... hope it gets better man, i know what it's like....

 

Damn Juan, now that looks like it hurt!!!Ouch!

 

Nothing a little bit of Brake Clean cant fix.

 

holy crap! its a good thing you guys don't have mechanical fans.

 

I now how you guys feel. I forgot my engine was running and grabed the coil. I got shock so bad i was on the floor for about 5 min in shock

 

This has got to be the funniest poast Ive ever read

 

Wait until your in the pits, revving your motor checking stuff out and
be standing next to the car when a fan belt breaks and slaps a
stripe down the middle of your face breaking your nose and givin'
you a pair of shiners and a fat lip.

Yeah, that story is from experience.......

 

Heres my simple steps on how to avoid injury

1) Turn off the car

And that my friends is it.

 

yeah man, it didn't quite feel good... a nurse I ran into said it was 2nd degree, but I never went to a doctor, I just slapped peroxide and alcohol on it daily and scrapped until it got clean and it started to heal, still don't have full control over my hand at all times and it hurts but it's getting there...

 

hehe, as a matter of fact I do... and I don't keep a cover on it either... trying to make that my next target when trying to get hurt jk... I stear very clear off that thing...

 

How do YOU adjust the Fuel pressure with the car off???

With a long stick

 

Shweet!!!!

Damn guys, yall gotta be careful....

 

I suppose I'd better hop in and gripe about how my Iroc bit me as well. I was working at cutting off my old, rotten and completely rusted on rear impact bar and somehow managed to, while moving my left hand, catch it on a jagged piece of rusty metal...It cut through three fingers like butter...about five hours later, the emergency room surgeon reattached the two that were hanging, and stitched up the third. Of course, it just so happens I play guitar in a jazz orchestra...or at least I used to...and have been studying guitar for the last ten years.

This all happened on tuesday, and I've seen a specialist since. It appears I had a hell of a surgeon, and the repair looks very promising. I will certainly have regular use of my hand in a few months. My musical ambitions look a little more bleak, and I'm having a pretty tough time with that. Working on the car, which is completely torn apart and all over my house in the midst of a full rest-rod project, is also tough with one hand...I was so angry I almost called the scrap yard up yesterday, but I figure I might as well have something to show for all this. The moral of the story is: Don't work on your car at 4 am when you're exhausted, and pay bloody attention to everything you do!...I've since also invested in a pretty heavily armoured set of Mechanics gloves--they're worth the expense.

 

damn guys theres some nasty battle scars around here.

 

mmmmm, metil fan blades

thank *** this wasnt me....
och
