A Norton Commando motorcycle with a bad layshaft bearing. The technical notes from the USNOA said of the Mk2a layshaft bearing "...will be labeled 'Made in Portugal'; fine for wine but not for critical gearbox parts."
Stripped it down in the sink, used the oven/frig. combo. to get the fresh bearing in, and put the gearbox back in. Very satisfying work!
Next was the bad rubber front brake hoses on a '69 MGB that caused the rotors to glow at night. Took me some time to figure out what that was since the hoses looked so good from the outside.
