CHECK IT OUT AND CHECK IT OFF
Checking your parts before starting the job is very important. Many years ago I worked in a machine shop assembling and installing engines after hours. It was very important to have all the correct parts before we close the doors at night, there were no second chances. The first thing to do is make sure all the parts are there. Next match all the part numbers to the invoice, and last check all the sizes to make sure they are what the block and crankshaft are finished to. Getting the job done with as few problems as possible is what we all want. If you check everything ahead of time, the job will go together much easier and faster.
