Back when I was still running my little Auto repair shop some Hispanic guy came up and asked me to check out his 79 Firebird. He claimed they had just rebuilt the engine and they could not get it started. I went to his place and in the garage was a freshly painted Firebird with what looked like a brand new engine installed. I asked him if it was popping or making any noise when they turned it over. He said no. After checking a bit closer I noticed that there was no dipstick in the block. At that point he handed me a box of parts that his buddy gave him. "Do you know what these are for?" He asked. He was shocked when I started to swear out loud infront of him. @#$%!@#%@% ect...
Then I told him that if he wanted his car to run I would have to pull the engine and go through it again. He asked why?

The box contained.
Oil pump
Timing chain and concentric.
dipstick tubes and windage tray.
Lots of the internal small bolts needed.

Needless to say He was also pissed. But when I finished redoing his engine he was very happy with the power and performance it had. Oh and it fired right up when I finished building it.
