Backstory: I drive a Kenworth T800. I was coming down a hill and flipped the Jake on around 1800rpm which is a safe rpm.well guess the #4 piston decided to grenade instead. This is what we found when we got to the shop and pulled the head.

Man, there are some real gems this week. The lift one is the scariest one to me. I never get used to being underneath a vehicle.

When I’m lucky enough to have access to a hoist, I fully enjoy my time underneath. Way better than creeping along my garage floor. I could totally get used to it.
But this... it’s sobering.

I have a creeper, but it’s useless on my cracked and spawled garage floor. I just end up laying on a piece of cardboard.
Lifts are awesome, but they’re not magic and can be very dangerous too. My favorite, when I can get access to one, are the big honking 4-post drive-in lifts, with the secondary lifts built in to get the tires in the air. Man, those are sweet.
