Save Those Old, Failed Parts
I suggest keeping a few examples of failed parts around your machine shop so you can show a customer first hand what happens in his engine. Below is a photo of a failed lifter, a prime example and perfect chance to teach your customers the importance of break-in oils and procedures. Some other failed parts that would be valuable to hold on to and show customers are pistons with pre-ignition problems.
