lol.....the parts sitting around thing......OMFG you have no idea how much WATER I was dealing with 2 months ago trying to put the short block together!!! Every day...start with scotchbrite grey and "hone" the rust out of the cylinders, then rub on the crank journals. As we had like %400 humidity. Finally after finish mocking everything we did one more "clean" and installed crank then next day the pistons (as everything was already for FINISH ASSEMBLY.)
