June 20th .. I was all ready to assemble the engine when I discovered the Main bearings didn't fit correctly. After examining them more carefully, I discovered they didn't work at all. The 'tang' was in the wrong location as was the oil hole.
This morning, I took the bearings back to the NAPA store. After a discovery process of about 20 minutes we finally concluded I got the correct bearing box, but the box had tractor bearings rather than buick v-6 bearings. So, my new bearings should be here tomorrow morning. Because of this, the engine build has been delayed until monday (when the kids are back).
