Oil coolers that were on a motor that ate a rod bearing get sold.

You don't want that cooler.

In the future, always put a wrench on the cooler while installing a hose.

This.
You need two wrenches.
NEVER try to tighten (or loosen) gas /oil fitting with just one wrench.

A hard lesson but it will save you further distress the next time you're working on a similar item.

I learned that safety glasses are really cool,
by having a piece of rust sit in my eye overnight.
Makes it easy to remember.

Oh shit! Sound uncomfortable :)

I had a piece of plastic fly into my eye when using the dremelon a fender. I always wear glasses when working on metal but I just ignored safety with plastic and a tiny little dremel... not doing that again haha!

Buying a full face guard before the weekend as I'm going to be doing some paint stripping with brass attachements... heard a lot of people complain about those things flying into ones face and sticking to it... wtf!
