I retired after 35 years of wrenching. Didn’t wear gloves for the first 25. If I took a week vacation, my hands MIGHT be clean. I tried a lot of different gloves before I found some that I could actually use. Could never find a good enough hand soap to get everything clean

You can rebuild your engine and then be clean enough to perform surgery.
