you got it easy! i did the crank, rods, bearings blahblah on my motor then saw metal in the oil agian! i pulled it apart figuing my new crank was shot and it was fine... i pulled it apart for no reason! then putting it back together a head bolt stripped @ 35ft lbs of torque... put a permasert (helicoil) in there then put the water bypass pipe under the intake on and it leaked so i was tighening it to get it to stop and the bolts just kept spinning <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" /> i ended up drilling through the rear bolt and puttin another bolt through the whole thing with a nut on the end! cost me 2 days <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" />
