Why is it my DIY projects take on a timeline and life of their own? This weekend I thought I would tackle a valve clearance adjustment on an aircooled 911.

In addition to the project had to figure out:
- how to get rid of the stupid locking wheel nut locks
- how to loosten the fan pulley but some idiot had used an impact wrench on
- how to get a valve cover nut away from the spark plug on cylinder 1 so I could remove the plug
- how to move aircon compressor aside to reach #4, 5, and 6
- how to disconnect heating hoses to reach #1, 2, and 3
- how to reach into spaces human arms and fingers were not evolved to do

Anyone else done this on their's? - I must say oddly enjoyable way to get to know the car.
