Small Block Crate engines

Most people want to buy a crate either for the convience or because they don't know how to build an engine. Either way if you really want piece of mind then at least pull the pan, check the torque on the mains and rods, pull the valve covers and check the torque on the head bolts. Inspect it as good as you can and clean any left over machining particles out you may find. You'd be surprised what I've seen.
