DIY motor build horror stories
Fresh rebuild and the "stock" ports the original irons had ate a side seal. Cleanly took out every seal on that side, and costed me a rotor. Atleast the brand new housings didnt get harmed, i would have shot myself.
I forgot sealant on the "legs" of 3/4 housing faces.
Then it just popped an oil cooler line off while idling in the garage, apparently the push-lok hose wasn't all the way onto the fitting. Ever see 4 quarts of oil sprayed all over a bunch of kids toys? Not pretty. Lol.

best one i've done is a corner seal boot popped out while putting the rear iron on, the seal managed to get stuck right between the rotor housing and iron. when i pulled it apart there was an apex seal corner seal boot pressed flat into the rotor housing..
