inHas anyone hired Mill Creek Painters before?
Yes, they did our whole upstairs two years ago. Very clean work and they actually used drop cloths everywhere – my wife was impressed haha. Would recommend.

inMost shops frown on homemade tools, but my pipe clamp headset press was a success
Exactly! It's like the fancy tools trick you into thinking you don't need the skill. You just push harder instead of feeling what's actually happening. That's why @johnp98 is spot on about homemade stuff proving a point. My best bearing press is literally a big bolt, some washers, and a piece of pipe. It works perfectly because I have to go slow and pay attention. The real tool is your brain, not the shiny metal.

inJust realized my $400 catch can was a total waste
My buddy's 2.7L EcoBoost had the same result, maybe a teaspoon of oil in 15,000 miles. The PCV system on these newer motors is just way better than the old ones they were designed for. Makes you wonder if the whole thing is just solving a problem that got fixed five years ago.
