The
Way to Your Car's Heart
1 Getting the best tools for your money
2 Determining which tools you need to buy (and which ones
you can just borrow)
3 Stocking a trunk compartment toolbox
4 Making your list and checking it twice: A tool checklist
to take with you to the auto ~ parts store
Whether you're trying to cook up a decent meal, paint a picture,
run an ffice or work on your car, You're only as good as your
tools. Just as you can't slice tomatoes super-thin with a
bent, rusty, dull knife, and you can't type a professional-looking
letter on a broken-down typewriter, you can't do any kind
of job on your engine if you lack the means to loosen or remove
parts, clean or gap them, reinstall them, adjust them, and
test the results.
Before
you run off to return this book because you aren't prepared
to spend a lot of money on tools that you'll probably never
use again after you ruin your engine or cut off your thumb,
let me tell you that all you really need are a few basic implements,
and they're not very expensive. (I'll deal with the engine
and your thumb later.) In this chapter, I list and describe
the tools you need for working on your vehicle. You may be
surprised at how many of them you already own, and in the
event that you do need to buy a few, I give you point¬ers
on getting value for your money.
