Aside from that. That's normal for disassemby, Crate motors are turn-key, which means all parts present and assembled. He was taking it apart for a port job on the heads and found a problem. And it's a BBC btw

It was a fully assembled crate motor. The owner took it apart to have the heads ported. And yes it is FRESH out of the crate.

Thanks for playing Louie.
