I'm a little confused- - - -did the Engine Center sell you a block without the oil pump fixture installed? From the online complaints about that place it sounds like a real ripoff operation, especially when they use a UPS store address instead of letting people know where to find them. If I'd been treated like some of the people who are doing the griping I'd be doing a little Louisville Slugger counseling!
