Thanks man, but it's over for now. Even after I found a GM 3-bar and made it work - it's still all over for now. For a long time.

Going to make my money back on the engine at least, it's under 90 day warranty luckily - I already called and confimed that I can get a refund for it haha. As far as progress on stage 4.5 of the build, that will have to wait until I relocate to Maine. I simply don't have enough funds to continue right off the bat, so it will take a little time, but I will NEVER give up.

Sorry to hear about all these troubles Nikita! At least for now you can sit back and chuckle as I follow in your footsteps through the same struggles. :) Before long you'll be back at it and getting those numbers you've been shooting for!

Haha this is true Jason, don't make some of the mistakes I did lol. Thanks for the support guys!

About to embark on pulling out this bunk engine.. This where I'll be working tomorrow and probably the next evening to take care of everything, and using pretty much only my trusted toolbox (fishing box) haha. Kobalt ratchet set, cheater bar, and torque wrench gets teh job done! :thumbup:

At least I'll have some soft and comfy carpet to lie down on when I need to, and won't have to worry about spilling oil on it or staining the floor - we got a lot of extra carpet here due to remodeling. The underneath is also lined with surgical drapes. It's time for surgery bitch..!

Sorry to hear about your ****ty luck man. Good to hear your not giving up though. And **** yes for pulling an engine with basic hand tools. We did my whole build with a 70 dollar craftsman half inch socket set a torque wrench and a hammer. Back yard mechanics ftmfw!!!
