Aluminum Engines....

Are still heavy.
Even when they are still on the stand




Be careful out there

Sorry to see that Don, Just how did it happen.

Was working on the Rover engine on it's stand and I needed to rotate the motor to work on the oil pan side.
I forgot how heavy top heavy it is with the heads on it and it spun really quick and I ended up with my wrist trapped against the flywheel and the stand.
All I could do just to move it a little with my other hand to free my arm.
I walked around the room seeing stars and muttering niceties .
After the stars cleared I looked at my hand .I could swivel my wrist and move my fingers without any pain I figured I was good to go
Continued working and after about 20 minutes the sleeve on my hoody pulled up a bit and I had an 1 ½ tumor on my wrist
Well that's not good I thought.
Nothing is broken just really bruised and swollen.
The bad news. I did this on Tuesday and yesterday I had to start ripping the deck boards off my exterior deck.
Timing sucks
