My moment

Great reading and it happens to the" best of them".
Was turning my motor to do up the clutch bolts underneath,finished this job late @ night,fired up the car with the torque wrench still on the front pulley nut.
Good powerful starters in these cars had to remove starter fit flywheel lock and retighten nut to 150 ft/lbs.
No damage but there could have been.
