I did a car today for a friend and told him I`d do his engine too. Here are the before and after pics. I thought it was pretty impressive. He wasn`t even aware that his valve cover wasn`t supposed to be black. lol

Notice anything out of place on that second pic? I had to take the oil cap off in order to clean around it. Silly me forgot to put it back on before I closed the hood. Wes started up the car and started to back it out and I remembered that the cap was off. I ran up to the hood and waved for him to pop the hood. I totally forgot that the engine was running and what that would mean. Maybe it was the heat. It was 105* in the shade today. Anyway, I opened the hood and got sprayed in the face with oil! I hurried and put the cap on and just shook my head. I was covered with oil now. Why, oh why do I detail in a white shirt??? Oh well. Aside from ruining my nice clean engine, nothing bad happened. It was only 10 seconds before I figured out the cap was off. I guess its a good thing I realized that it was off when I did. lol I feel dumb though. Please tell me I`m not the only one that has done that.
