Have any of you ever had an engine fight you the whole way?

The 360 Ian and I are putting in the Duster just does not want to co-operate. First, I paid more than I should have because the engine was supposed to have had a lot of work done to it with low miles. Pulled it apart to make sure, and had to do a bit more than I wanted to.:banghead: Then I showed Ian how to instal bearings, and rings. Ended up with one bent ring and one rod bearing put in backwards. No big deal, thats how you learn. But went to get the heads ready and found a pushrod and the rocker arm shafts missing, along with the head bolts and front cover bolts. :banghead: Then paid a machine shop to tank the block, and instal the soft plugs and cam bearings. Went to put the cam in and found they put two bearings in backwards. :banghead: Then the flywheel thing. :banghead: While the heads look great, I'm not holding my breath when we pull the valves. :banghead:

Ok, I feel better. :D
