Here's my latest bonehead move (not the first or last, I'm sure):
Took my uppipe off to pour in GM top engine cleaner. Struggled with keeping the dam car running while dribbling in the stuff. finally did the job. Smoked out the whole neighborhood. Put uppipe back on. Took the car around the block to blow out the carbon. Hit the boost in 1st gear and noticed 17 deg of knock. Hum, that's weird. It was doing fine before. Turned around and hit 24 lbs of boost again - big knock retard. Drove home and parked it. Piled the family into the Blazer and headed to the grocery store while think about it. Then it hit me! I forgot to re-attach the alky line. Oh boy, did I get lucky only hitting knock under the lower load of 1st gear and got out of the boost quickly. No blown headgasket...yet. I'm on borrowed time though.
I fessed up, now it's your turn. Tells us your brain dead things that you unintentionally did to your car.
