I bet they completely rebuilt except for rings and bearings. we use that saying all the time thought it would good time to say it here.
One of the other favorites is, I don't understand what happened it was running good till the engine blew up.
Another one is when some one sees a car that got ragged out and they say I bet that was a nice car at one time. we say nope it came out brand new like that.
how many problems are we supposed to find from picture?
Only thing I spot instantly is with mobile homes in back ground they are in danger of tornado hitting them.
Only thing I saw was intake gaskets on table with intake on but they could've been extras
and #6 intake valve guide looks a little loose.

Re: WOW!!! Amazing!!!
 

So whats wrong? Point them out. Or have you guys never seen an engine on a stand before or is this a private joke.

Re: WOW!!! Amazing!!!
 

Well we were actually just in amazement that the intake is totally open, and they are working on the engine OUTSIDE!!!

Also the can of spray paint with the engine open was also a bit concerning.. the front is totally open with the timing cover off.. LETS PAINT... LOL

Engine stand in wrong bolt hole on block

Re: WOW!!! Amazing!!!
 

Surgically clean egine building room. A little wind blown sand should help seal the rings. No covering carb hole on intake is a good place to drop bolts into also. Ive seen worse, like popup psitons installed upside down. Heads dont fit too well like that. One thing I will say for them is when someone asks them a question about the motor the answer wont start with "well my engine builder said ".

Re: WOW!!! Amazing!!!
 

That is about the same thing that we were thinking... as engine builders our selves, we gasped..lol we immediatly start thinking about how to get the dirt out of it... lol
Yes, they may be able to tell you about the motor, but I know this group personally, and WOW!! I will be surprised if this engine runs.. they ask".. What do you mean I have to PRIME IT?..."

I know we would all want a sterile environment, me especially. Back in my High School days in the early 70's I had a neighbor with, what I thought was the coolest 55 Chevy, looking back it was a POS, and I would ride to school with him against my parents wishes. It was fairly fast and his dad was a local legend at the circle track with nail head Buicks, but one day it was faster than normal and I asked him what he did. He and his brothers got drunk(already mentioned) and put a motor together with what ever they had in the garage(dirt floor) that would fit together and boy did it fly. It only lasted about a month, but that is all they could afford or do and they did it. Is it wrong? Not for them.
