    Building Al’s 408 stroker. Parts left over?

    I finished the short block last night, but this was laying on my assembly table when I got through.  No idea where it could go.

    They always throw an extra nut or bolt in the package in case you lose one. Nothing to worry about.  Carry on.

    I went back and counted oil scraper rings on all eight pistons, three times.  Somebody is missing one from their engine, but not Al's.
