Slow build 71 Scamp 440

This is how a good community operates. Although not new anymore I and other still come up against problems and the good folks here dole out the information and experience. As this is my first 440 engine build I'll be back with more noob engine build questions. Thanks again!


Ok thanks guys. I wanted to check with you guys before I started any procedure. I took advice of both of you and chased the threads and used a little lube. Wire brushed the bolt. Then worked the bolt in with some lube. I worked the bolt in and out till it was fully seated. Looks like there was a lot of material caught in the threads of the crank that wasn't visible. Thanks guys.
