Default Don't Punch your engine block!

Ok so I didn't actually punch it. But I was installing my Hydroboost setup and while trying to break loose the fitting on the steering rack it gave way and my knuckles threw Rocky's best punch into the side of the engine.

And when you do that this is what happens. 6 stitches, a hundred dollars (thanks mom), and one hour of time.

Now to find a sucker to put my brake pedal back on so I can drive to school on Sunday.

And BTW taking off the brake pedal was the single hardest thing I have ever had to remove from this truck. PITA

Maybe not it was a nice clean cut. Doc said he couldn't have cut me better himself.
