How to Rebuild a Small Block Part 4: Pre Flight Inspection After Machine Shop Before Assembly

Meh. I'm glad you got the tech editor thing back. You deserve it.

Thanks... I asked Joey if he could give me back the tech editor priviledges so I can do this series on building an engine...

I've been planning on doing this build series for a few years now and finally got a chance to document a build with my youngest son (@ValiantK360)... He picked up a very clean 68 Valiant Signet 4 door from another FABO member (@Sedanman) a few years back and I gave him one of my 360's to build for it to swap out the 170 slant 6 that came in the Valiant... We have the short block together and he has gone to live with his mom in NC while he goes to college, but we will finish it when he comes to visit on his holiday breaks...

In the mean time I have most of the pictures that I need from other builds that I have done and can use them to continue for the rest... The only one that I don't have documented yet is degreeing a cam, but I can fill that in later as an "A or B" supplement when he comes back and we degree his cam... That is why you may see more than one engine in this series when it's done...
