this whole week i have been working on my bug. i first had to remove the engine and transmission. then i pulled most everything off the stock 1600 and put it on my new 1776. yesterday my dad an i started it up outside of the car for the first time. it sounded good, so my dad was going to have me break the cam in by running it for about 20 minutes with it over 2500rpm. after about 5 minutes he came back to check on me and i had a puddle of oil below the engine. we turned it off and it kept coming. it was like a river. today we pulled off the transmission, pressure plate, clutch and flywheel. it turns out that the man we bought the car and engine from, never put a main seal in it. how can you forget to put a main seal in and torque the flywheel to 250ft-lbs?!?!

That sucks, but at least 1.) you caught it now and 2.) it's an 'easy' fix. Of course, now the question is... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pinch.gif) what else did he forget? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hide.gif) |

Here's the funny part. I was going to show him how to buy a car. Truth is I showed him what not to buy. Unfortunately, my names on the title.

Bugs are cool, I am finishing up my 74 Std bug. It's turning out nice. The 1835 is "on it's way" I have been told.
Got any pics of your bug? Attached thumbnail(s)
