Taking valve cover off and playing "whack-a-mole" on the valvetrain with the engine running.
Thats freakin hilarious.
Reminds me of my old car, one 1988 Isuzu Imark Turbo. It was 145 horsepower and had 230 kms on it when I decided it should die (the 240 was comin in a month or so)

I tried and tried to kill that poor thing. The turbo pushed 9 pounds of boost and I stood on the gas in first gear for a freakin mile and didnt shift. Repeatedly. You know what a cooked turbo sounds like (before it cools down and its fine again)

anyhow I didnt damage anything else, and know what? The damn thing would probably still start up and purr like a kitten again if I tried right now. Bulletproof engine, I wish the rest of the car was like that!

GO PLAY WHACK A MOLE
