He's still rebuilding the engine, hasn't even taken out the crank yet (though he turned it and it looks fine). He's also going to replace the oil pump just in case (think it's still the one he got with the engine). But when I say it's out of place, I mean when he took the bottom stuff off, they were almost completely out. The one that was bairly in was just in the notch of the block by it's tip (basically almost a 178 degree turn), and the other was about a ¼ of the way in. He didn't know what the hell they even were (he's never built a engine before, obviously never have I). But I went over there tonight to tell him what they were and where they go, he slid them both in and out with no problem at all
Maybe I'm wrong but I'd assume something like that is supposed to be hard to get out with the crank in there, and should stay in there until you really try hard to get them out.
