Just passed 500 engine rebuilds and it hit me different

I was cleaning up after number 500 on a 6.7 Powerstroke last Thursday. Did the math on my old logbook and realized that's over 15 years of cranking bolts and chasing oil leaks. My back hurts all the time now (no surprise there) and my knuckles look like hamburger. But seeing that number made me feel something I wasn't expecting. Anyone else ever stop and count up how many motors they've actually cracked open?

Hit me different" is exactly right.

Yeah, I don't know, feels a little dramatic to me. It's a song, not a breakup text.
