Default god i have the worst ****ing luck

i have to, no GET to pull off the entire front of the engine AGAIN to fix ANOTHER broken water pump/timing cover bolt. I got the rad in, and the overflow tank, which apperently noone makes/sells anymore, and i go to put in some coolant, and it just starts POURING out of the water pump, so i pulled that off to fix it, and putting it back on, the same ****ing thing happened, and one of the studs broke, not the same one, but still, it was a new ****ing bolt

holy ****, i have half a mind to drive this thing off a cliff

so yeah, someone shoot me, i damn near broke my arm hitting the punching bag in my back yard...

happened to me the other day working on mine.

was all pissed, sat my flashlight on the fender not paying attention (magnet on the bottom of the flashlight to mount upside down if needed)

im all pissed and SLIDE it off the fender, and sure enough, i scrached 4-5 real good ones into the car, look on the bottom of the magnet and theres little metal shavings all over it from where the **** ever they got on there.


i packed my **** up and quit for the day, lol.


so i know how ya feel bro, dumb **** like that makes you wanna give up sometimes.

wow, some of you have really bad stories, lol

the good thing is it seems like, just like the last time, a bit is protruding from the block. so hopefully a pair of vice grips will remedy the situation, but now i need yet another timing cover/front oil pan gaskets, etc
knowing my luck, whats left of the old coolant in the block will have rusted up by now and ill need a new block

which of course if that happens, i guess ill just buy a reman, its only ****ing money

i guess i need to be in a better mood about this though, it could be ALOT worse
