T3: Rebuild Blues


This is the tearful story of a motor that's gone, gone, gone!  The
Squares I just bought were a great deal... until I decided to pull the
motor out of the driver to check the end play.  The gent had the short
block built locally, but put the flywheel on himself.  Needless to say,
there were no shims and about .27 of end play.  This combined with 300
miles of stop and go driving ruined the rebuild.  Pulling the motor
saved the heads, pistons and cylinders.  However, I'm still out a case,
new counterweighted crank.
I'm writing this to remind people, don't cut corners!!!!!!  The PO and
myself will have a polite conversation to avoid a repeat of this in the
future.  This one error is going to run 5 c notes.   An up side is that
I still have lots of great parts to finish my Notch.
