Here's mine from 8 years ago. It was easier than what you had to deal with because it was a complete OEM marine engine that just needed new cylinder heads...I half expected it not to start, when it started immediately I was a bit shocked!

Cautious decisions are always rewarded most times.
Gasoline engines are not a pile of random LEGO parts.

Especially in the case of the Chevrolet small block series both V8 and V6, there are many variations.

Thanks, but as said this motor was bought all in pcs so i was really really worry about it.
I know i asked a lot here and i'm sorry for this but i wanted to be one thousand % sure you know, if you disassembly the parts you know exactelly where they go, but if you buy in a box with parys that are also from other motor this make the story hard

Just remember if you are doing this, it helps a person who just pulled a 4.3 out of someone's old S-10 Blazer or pick up and just wants to get their boat in the water. All the questions lead to learning which helps others which is really the point of these forums!

I remember looking at this thinking....ahh....first time I ever took a real engine apart....not sure if this is going to go all back together....but it did!
