Default almost ...lost an eye!!!

so i decide to take a break from HMT and finish removing the valves and seals on the Y8 head. i grab onto the valve seal and pull up real hard w/ the pliers, and it lets go.......BAM!!!! a thumb in my eyeball. so, i drop to the ground and hold my eye, not even sure if i'm gonna be able to see out of it again... i couldn't believe the pain!!! 3 minutes later... i can see, but it's real blury, (and still is) but i finish the job so i can take the head to work tomorrow and message the ports! GOTTA LOVE AN ADDICTION!!!

so how close have you come to losing a body part over a honda?

That was a stupid way to get hurt. The thumb in the eye thing, that is kinda funny.

yeah it sucks for you, but from the outside looking in. Dude is working on motor, suddenly punches self in face. That is funny, especially because you can still see afterward.
