Moderator DirtyDT Posted April 22, 2015 Moderator Share Posted April 22, 2015 If it's a choice I can get you a spare kidney from work. Just let me know - don't forget to let me know your blood group too! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttaskmaster Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Obviously not ref the gasket goo, the hammers, stilsons and mole grips but I wouldn't keep a shifting spanner in my box NOT kidding about the Instant Gasket? But it's such horrid, nasty, evil stuff that previous owners never know how to use... I actually make a tidy side-living from helping a mechanic friend, doing jobs that almost always involve removing shedloads of IG before we can fix it! If it's a choice I can get you a spare kidney from work. Just let me know - don't forget to let me know your blood group too! Ooh, I might be interested - Can you get steak, too, as I fancy me a pie...! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Fek me Ttasky, I would have been more concerned re: NOT kidding about stilsons and molegrips, you must really hate gasket goo. FWIW, I was kidding about all 3, just entering into the spirit of DTs post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, if anything goes wrong with the one thats left, DT can get you a new one....simples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, I was kidding about all 3, just entering into the spirit of DTs post Yeah I assumed you were being lighthearted. Although I do personally find adjustable spanners of use and very occasionally the stilsons, but only because I use my tools for more than just bike maintenance... and the adjustables sometimes come in handy, especially for weird bikes like BMWs! But instant gasket... That one is a serious eww. When I first got my FJ, it had no gaskets anywhere and the PO had applied so much that it was gumming up the engine. Since then, I've pulled it out of water jackets, valves, cams, timing chains, exhausts, fuel caps, brake calipers, between piston rings and more... I wouldn't mind so much, but I was only helping out while dropping by for a cup of tea and the only reason I made money was from guilt payments because "a quick hand with this engine" so often turns out to be "Ah shit, take the whole thing out. It needs a rebuild"! Then again, I've helped fix a clutch that was superglued together, so it can always be worse!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
