Lol Wounded. children are so great for that. Remember one time building up a renault f16 on a stand. Refurbed all the bearings etc, had got the head back on, timed it up but not rial spun it and was looking for the m10 or 12 bolt that held a lifting eye on. Had my nephew with me, about 11 then too. He says ' what you looking for', this bolt I say. A look of worry on his face, 'erm I put it on there'.
'There' being on top of number 1 piston. I turned her slowly with a ratchett. Dinkk. Got a maglight and sure enough, sat there in the chamber, my bolt
It wasn't lost though
