Did I destroy a DR650 Engine?

Dino’s Tinker Shed, S2 Ep41-. Did I destroy a DR650 Engine? In this episode I tackle a question I get sometimes and that is, how often do you make mistakes and how bad are they? Well today I will show you one of the worst mistakes I have made, and I just happened to capture it on video when I first started this channel. It has taken me quite a while to show this footage to the public as it is somewhat embarrassing however I think it is important to show how easy it is to make a mistake and that it is not the end of the world when one happens. During one of the first videos that I produced, I got a bit too focused on filming and not enough on the task at hand. This led to me pulling out the drain bolt threads on the bottom of a DR650 engine, leaving me in a state of horror. I was unsure of what to do next however in the end I was able to fix it and there was little harm done. As always, I have included time code chapters for you to skip around if you find yourself in a similar situation.
