:lol: :lol: The first(and only) motor I ever built/tore down was a BBC.I was 16 and had never even changed plugs before.The first time I ever installed spark plugs in my life was when I got my "built" 396 back from the machine shop.Before that my extent of mechanical work was adjusting one set of points with the help of my Grandpa,he was the only one I knew that still owned a dwell meter.I wanted to assemble it myself,and I did.Had no problems,but thought they had sent me someone elses pushrods.They were reeeaaalll short.HAHA!Didn't ealize the length difference when I pulled them out.Wanna see something real weird look at the exhaust ports on a smog Ford 460 :shock: :?
