Dude showed me how to diagnose a bad ac motor and bypass a kill switch until a new one arrived. Another time he over-nighted an updated part where a capacitor for the fire starter on the heater was not available near me.
And then there was the time the 2 drove 6 hours one way on a Friday night, pulled a 30 hour marathon to help me build a motor where US parts and Japan parts were merged to make a high torque 4 cylinder merged with high rpm number ...
....then returned a few weeks later to help mate the custom transmission to the block, and stayed until the motor was bolted to the car... I sent them home that time after about 12 hours...
That's me on the right trying to see a motor mount bolt that would not copperate.
Both have super nice, well planned and executed Honda Preludes and were helping my son and I build a super fast sleeper car.
A short while later I discovered CPF....
So in my view a few flashlights pale in comparison to what those 2 have done for my son and I over the last few years.

But then again, if i told you he used wd40 one day to quieten some squeaky brakes you may have guesses sooner.............no joke! Back to the engine full of oil, he found out it was not a good idea on the motorway when it chucked out all kinds of smoke. Long story short, the fix was simply draining some oil, the engine was fine. V-tec, arguably one if not the best engine ever made(all things considered) and certainly one of the toughest. Where i used to take my car for a rolling road tune, they were working on a civic V-tec and bolted a turbo to it without changing the compression due to the engine strength. IIRC it was around 400hp ................through the front wheels
