I had hoped to get my engine to the long block stage this week, but things didn't work out. I was able to install the crank, rods, and pistons so some progress was made. When it came time to install and degree the cam it was discovered that it had been ground for mechanical lifters instead of hydraulic.
Also I need to correct a mistake in my last post in which I stated.

Obviously the last sentence should have been. "Well
