Man Im sorry that happened, I would be pissed too! Id make more trouble by being pissed and trying to fix things, bound to louse it up worse.

So on this motor, it is a crate motor I have obviously not fired up so I will be researching what I need to do as I assemble so its got a good chance of running strong. Its got no oil in it as far as I know and Im sure you have to prime things up first before installing intakes and such.

Many thanks for the pic there! The lines look great paired up. I will look into inline but I have one of those spendy flaring tools I bought to do the brake lines so the hopeful plan was to find out what size lines and fittings and a proper route path sketch and make the lines myself. Oh and to have a lift like that is a dream of mine. One day.
