Spacers fitted=stitches

Hay guys

Fitted my Nwp 5 pieace spacer kit today every thing went well with the install. Only thing that worried me was the gasket goo oozing out a little bit and restricting flow? When removing the rear bracket with a 12mm spaner eventually cracking the nut and smashed my thumb went really deep could see my
Bone. So I'll need stitches tomoz. So be aware when removing rear bracket lol. Torque seems to be up Aswell.

Cheers Kurt

Get stitches now. You only have a 10 hr window to get stitches (found out the hard way).

If it's to the bone, go today and get stiches. You don't want to deal with a cut that deep without them.
As long as you only put a paper thin layer of silicone on, you'll be fine. Well, your engine performance that is.

Sorry to hear about that stupid bracket. I cut my hand a bunch of times on that POS lol. So easy to remove the upper IM now with it gone. Like everyone else has said though, GO NOW and get checked out.

Been there. I learned to hit the ratchet with the base of my hand rather then apply straight brute force. If it breaks your hand wont go flying into something.

OUCH! I'm sorry. I know that hurt!

That bracket is better being off the car!
