Well, that's kinda rough on an innocent machine. But you might open the
engine compartment for another inspection. But beware-- if a ballpoint
pen falls out of your pocket, into the little recess where the bottom half
of the crank pulley resides, no one will ever see it, but it will screech
like a banshee next time a potential customer starts the engine. Good
news is, it won't hurt anything or anyone except the pen. What's he
complaining about? It wasn't his pen!

Aah, this is so decadent and childish... but soooo tempting...   >:^)
