That sticky shutter fix changed more than I expected

I fixed a sticky shutter on a Pentax K1000 last Tuesday and within 3 days the whole timing went off by a full stop. Turns out the old grease had migrated somewhere it shouldn't have. Anyone else seen a repair cause a new problem like that?

OH man! My buddy cleaned his Canon FTb and the self timer never worked again.

Jeez @the_aaron, is it really that bad? Half the time people blame the self timer but really they just forgot how to set it.
