And the frustation begins!

[Mr. 6pak2go]

Well i started assembling my engine today apparently the guy that sold me the engine had a knake for loosing bolts!! i bought it as a fully rebuild short block with all the hardware!! my A$$ almost every part is missing a bolt or 3 I only had 15 push rods? go figure so i bought 1 push rod and im using my old 360 for a parts engine so far i got the thursh plant the intake bolts the timing cover bolts etc!! another thing the crank shaft where the timing sproket slides on is a lil buggered up and the sproket will not go on!! i guess im gonna have to buy a new crank or cleann it better or something!?? later!!

It's always something....just part of the fun! Just be glad the last guy didn't put things together and overtighten every bolt and snap about 1/2 of them off. I had an engine once where that was the case....that was a real PITA.

Good luck...you'll get er done!

Kit is not exactly what Id call it, but thats what they call it, you have to buy lots of kits to rebuild the whole motor but worth the cash .   :beer:
