I pull an engine apart and put it back together and get nothing, someone undoes 4 bolts and swaps a seat in and get standing applause.

Well, SURE! Any schlub can rebuild an engine, but we all know how much fun removing seats is.

Well that's just fine and dandy, perhaps next week I'll attempt to put fuel in the car and will be named shade tree mechanic of the year.

Say, did I ever tell y'all how I amazed a Nobel laureate?

Back in the days when I worked at Drexel, a sandyhaired gent walked into my office. "Hiya, Mitch! What's that?" "Hi, Alan! Mercedes carburetor. Just rebuilt it." "Amazing. Never could do that sort of thing." And with that, Alan MacDiarmid, Nobel laureate in Chemistry, walked into my boss' office.
