Hear Hear. I'm in the same boat. First engine was built with a few extra parts leftover, not to mention the rear cam journal plug that came out and oiled down my fresh chassis.

The 2nd build is going on as we speak..this time we're running it in on a test stand to make sure everything is copacetic before it goes back in the car.

Also using a new builder that has a good reputation...which is what the last builder had too.

Argh, if it's not the bodyman, it's the machinists. I swear, the only things that were done right or on time and to my satisfaction were things I didn't pay someone else to do..even though I've missed a few simple things...I usually figure them out quickly...and they don't require pulling the engine out or repainting the car.
