Completed the 13b engine.. (pics)
Well, after discovering that the parts kit I ordered had apparently been opened before it was shipped, I noticed that several ANNOYING things were wrong/missing.
It had the oil seal o-rings as I had ordered, but the green viton rings were the same size as the black rubber o-rings. the green ones were supposed to be smaller.
they had the right part number but had the wrong parts in them.
then there was MORE nonsense.
I had ONE oil filter neck o-ring. (instead of two)
and the replacement crush washer for the oil pan was missing.
Thank god I have spares lying around.
Heres the completed engine....
I have to have this car finished by the 17th on this next month, (nearly complete restoration in and out)
I will take orders for more engines after that.

I have a dealer account.
Same as other shops.
Only I have lower volumes, so shipping is a bit more intense on me.
If I could get 2-3 pre-orders with deposits, I could make longblocks all day long cheaper than the other guys.
I have no employees and no retail shop space to rent.
Besides, im still unemployed (now 6 months) and could use the business.
