No, I think it was another issue I noticed as I was putting the engine together - the crank was a bit bent, from what I don't know, and I tried straightening it but I might have messed something else up worse by doing it. I think it might have been bent and not fixed by the machine shop, 'cause I've always had main and thrust bearing troubles.

This spare engine is BEAUTIFUL. I've got it all apart and it's frickin' gorgeous.

Should be on the road again in a week or so. No worries!

Excellent! Are you swapping heads from the bad engine?

Hey Ian...you wouldn't happen to have a few free hours to give me a hand with some brake line bending and flaring etc, would you? Got the brakes all worked out, just need some lines to make them work...

As long as I get my car finished off I should be able to donate a few hours on Sunday, does that work?

Everything but the block, crank, rods/pistons/rings, and oil pump will be coming from the other engine.
