Post GTR fire
Exactly one hour after installing cam, case gasket, crank seal, drive shaft seal, etc, this sh*t happens! Slowed down and notice smoke, by the time I got stopped she lit up. Grabbed the extinguisher, but it discharged for 0.2 seconds. So...friendly reminder to check and replace your extinguisher...mine was in the green! Luckily, I was near the water! Looks like the pad was grabbing (I never even put it in reverse for the trip).

Yep. Get a metal one make when you get it all fixed. Those plastic ones are a mistake, but they're cheaper for gt to have produced.
