Heal well. Don't push it.

I read somewhere that when people screw things up they have an idea they're screwing things up. This was related to work (car stuff). I mentioned it to one of the techs I respect. He agreed wholeheartedly. "Yep! My last engine, I was tightening a blank-blank, and I felt a little something, and I thought, no, it can't be, so I just finished building it. It blew the first time I got heavy into boost. I took it apart. Sure enough, the blank-blank had failed. And I KNEW I'd screwed it up but I was too impatient and sent it." (Note: the last engine was a 450hp turbo Civic engine).
