deguspice

In the motorcycle and antique British car communities, I've heard that referred to as "Shipwright's disease." Like, on a 3.8L E-Type, where you have to yank the engine to replace the starter motor, and you end up putting in a new clutch while you have the engine out, and my, that gearbox input bearing wobbles a little bit, may as well rebuild the gearbox too before the input shaft splines get munged, and, shit, while I've the engine out and the bonnet off, may as well replace the dampers and rebuild the front brakes as I've been meaning to do....

Ask me how I know. :-P
