I put the motor together, checked the piston to valve clearance with Mr. Chris and some clay (no problem there), and realized I ordered the wrong oil pump pickup. So last night I logged on and purchased a new one...the wrong one again. So, this morning I re-ordered the correct pickup and then discovered that my favorite "Corvette" valve covers don't fit over the poly locks on the rocker studs. DAMN! Now I need new valve covers.
So I took the motor, covered it up in a nice new plastic bag (thanks Tom!) and rolled it to the back of the garage. Looks like time to get back to the bodywork until the parts come in.
