In the early '70's I had to field strip the Hewland Mk-8 gearbox in my Formula Ford at Willow Springs in a howling desert dust storm as the sun was setting on a Saturday night. Then, as it got dark it started to rain...mud. The mud/rain turned to snow just about when I finished. I learned snow does not wash mud off of anything covered in gear oil.
Another challenge was setting up an XKE cylinder head without access to a complete 40 tab factory set of properly heat treated valve adjustment tabs in .001" increments.
