I'm so stupid

So I'm doing my first valve clearance check and just finished spending close to 2 hours fishing out a brass sealing washer that fell into an oil gallery hole. ( stainless snare wire)
The whole time wondering if my engine would be able to digest this washer or was i going to have to take the head off. I was so stressed I was actually having heart palpitations and was physically shaking when it came out finally.
So please don't be a me block those holes. LOL

You're not stupid, you're just human! :smile:

Nah, stupid is if you don't learn from your mistake and do the same thing again.
I prefer to go on to make new and different mistakes.   :goofy:

Oi! did your parents have anymore kids after you??! :rolleyes:

Just joking! :tongue:
Well mine did, but my Mom and Dad definitely always favored my brother (youngest) that came after me! Loved him to death and spoiled him rotten!....While I was just kinda there...even as adults... :sad: ... So I guess it did not apply in their case! :rolleyes:
