It is a very good idea to check things...

I agree 100%
Its a shame the pro didn't do that. Such a simple thing!

Reason for that is because he was a "pro" Chevy engine builder and nothing else. These guys run these shops think they can assemble anything under the sun because they can build a Chevy halfway right. They won't even look in an assembly manual to verify they are assembly correctly. They just keep drudging forward. Ask me how I know.
