Clayton...... I only asked a question and it was directed to B. And I think that was also a valid one. So many people have worked on B's car in the past, and I didn't know. Noah even commented that it looks wrong... and as a matter of fact, a few other people also do. It's a matter of mechanical commonsense that a nut should be completely threaded through by its bolt if the fitment is correct. That threaded bolt should just be longer imo.
And where is it that I shouldn't be going? You know damn well that you are not perfect as a mechanic. Most of your car projects do not run smoothly. My tranny that you swapped in had a leak from the way that you reinserted the driveshaft. That seal was distorted and it wasn't before the install. We all had a look at it before the installation. I saved the old seal and can post a picture of it for you. Also several bolts were also missing that my Honda dealership mechanic buddy had to replace. One bolt that you put in is the wrong size, it's too long for where it is. Also while both trannies were out of the car and side by side, we should have been looking at them to see what the differences were.... if we had, we could have swapped the speedo sensor plugs ahead of time, thus saving me a second trip down to your place to fix the problem.
I'm really not sure why you think that you can wrench in a fully coherant manner when you've been drinking beer all night. If you can't drive your car at that point, what makes you think that you can still wrench well? Wrenching should be a precise skill. At least with your own cars, you can tinker with them at your leisure in your garage, fixing your mistakes... everyone else that I hang out while they work on their own cars, keeps the drinking completely separate from their mechanical activities. <_<
