To be honest with you im quite young and this is my first rebuild. Ive put an insane amount of time and research into this as youd assume, however, yes im very "cherry" lol. And again to be honest im impressed with how far ive come. I understand your frustrations as i probably should have said this right off the bat, however im trying to be taken seriously especially when coming onto forums like these with a bunch of extremely expirienced people like yourselves. I have made a few very simple mistakes yes, but that does not exclude me from getting some guidance. Im sorry if you feel as though youve wasted your time but i really do appreciate all input. Im constantly learning and knew when i took this project on i was getting in over my head. I found the best machinist in the area and have been working closely with him. Luckily he has been very patient with me but im at the point now where the motor is in my truck and its not very easy to just call him up and try to describe my problems to him over the phone. Thats why i have turned to these forums for help. Im young with minimal expirienced but have always been at least a little mechanically inclined. I took interest and have been fascinated with these things since i was a boy lol. I just never had the chance to try it out for myself. Now the i have the money and time for it i figured id give it a try. Again im sorry if anyone feels they have wasted their time
