    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Are you suggesting it's a bad idea or just noting there's idiots out there?

I.m suggesting that if you use a rag in the cam chain tunnel, remember to remove it before buttoning the engine back up.

I don't think the guy who forgot the rag is an idiot, I think he's human.

If he left rags in an engine when he buttoned it up, he's an idiot. That's doesn't mean he'll always be an idiot, but he was at that moment.

Look, you don't need to take my suggestion about blocking the can chain tunnel with a rag. I could care less if tools and nuts make their way to your bottom end. It was just a sugestion. It's how I keep unwanted items from falling through, and I've never left the rags in when I put the valve cover back on. That's not saying I've never been an idiot, just not using this method.

If you find you keep leaving rags in your engine :(; get a bigger rag :D .

A bed sheet maybe:rolleyes:

A blanket :p

P.S a bigger rag will make U work harder to fit it underneath the valve cover.
