well about a month ago when i was working on my proportioning valve with my little brother and one of my friends the thought poped into my head. Is this normal? or am i just some freak that enjoys busting his nuckles?

I gave myself a 4, i figure after my tranny install and the time i stay up till 3 to get my brakes done I deserve it. laugh.gif

I'd have to give myself a 4.5... tranny swaps yes... I have no problems. A full engine swap, no... I have a tendency to be disorganized, which doesn't help me be able to put it back together very well. lol.gif

My first car (that I actually drove) was a 74 Vdub superbeetle with a 2.0 Porsche 914 engine (type 4 for those who know) so I have been doing that sort of work since the very beginning.

I am gradually starting to do the bigger things with my car. Mostly I have a professional do the tough things.
