The other day I changed three of them at the same time. Can get a bit confusing however. We have a buddy around here that got doing a couple at once and forgot to add oil to the one. Had his wife start it and.....long story....I saw that engine sitting out of the car a week later....trashed.

I swapped an engine a couple of months ago. What I most hate is the stinkin oil pressure line where it attaches to the engine, so I just clipped it in half figuring that I'd replace it with another as soon as the buzzard was out of the car. Forgot.

That makes a mess for sure when you start it. Good thing I saw the line of oil and shut her down in time.
