Had a neighbour come over asking if I could look at his car as it wasn't idling right and oil was going everywhere. He had just done an oil change. Only problem was that when he filled up the engine, he filled it right up!!!, until it was overflowing from the top of the rocker cover (inline six).
He did wonder why he had to put so much more oil in then what he drained out.

Same neighbour a while later asked if I could help him get his spark plugs out. I discovered tha when he did his oil change he also changed his plugs. They were the tapered ones but instead of just nicking them up he screwed them in as tight as possibly could. I did manage to finally get then out but 3 of the 6 broke in the head and had to carefully remove the ceramic so I could use easy outs and heat.
