welcome to my world.
i finally ordered all the gaskets, pumps, seals, etc. to finish putting this motor together. by my bday i will playing with a newly rebuilt by angela and david d series engine in my hatch. wheee!!! then i can work on that suspension problem
just wait until you have to measure and put the piston rings back on. turning those rings to their proper position is a pain but it is really cool to do. then when you put the pistons back in and connect them, the main cap gets in the freakin way and you usually have to start over cuz a bearing got out of place. david found some trick to stop this but i can't remember what is was.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
