Do it while the engine's running ?
I hadn't really thought of it this way, but .........
A mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the motor of a Harley motorcycle when he spotted a well-known heart surgeon in his shop.
The surgeon was there, waiting for the service manager to come and talk w/him about installing an SEST on his SERG & then dyno-ing it.
The mechanic shouted across the garage, "Hey, Doc, can I ask you a question?"
The surgeon a bit surprised, walked over to the mechanic working on the motorcycle. The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and
asked, "So Doc, look at this engine. I open its heart, take the valves out, fix 'em, put 'em back in, and when I finish, it works just like new. So
how come I get such a small salary and you get the really big bucks, when you and I are doing basically the same work?"
The surgeon paused, smiled and leaned over, and whispered to the mechanic...
"Try doing it with the engine running."

similar story...... a long time proctologist gives up the trade to live out his dream of becoming a harley mechanic. For his final exam at trade school he has to completely disassemble and reassemble an engine. When he gets his grade back he sees 150% for his grade and goes to talk to the teacher. The teacher calmly explains that 50% of the grade was for tearing the engine down, 50% for reassembling it correctly, and the last 50% was for doing the entire thing through the exhaust pipe.
