Reel grinding

Pride in ones work

I recently worked on a customer's golf cart. The cart had a oil leak which was coming from the sump cover. I removed the engine and put it on the workbench and then I saw it. Someone had tried to repair the leak previously. They had smeared the outside of the block with some kind of sealer. Why do so called mechanics do this? At best it is a short term fix. I see these kind of repairs often and I just shake my head. Are the mechanics just lazy or don't they know any better. I can't say why they do this, but one thing I can say for sure, they don't take pride in their work
