How can a brad new GM short block do this...
break a main cap bolt???
just finished building my engine. i got the short block from a guy and it was brand new, still had paint marks on the rods ect. i put the top end on it, bolted it in the car and fired it up to break it in. i noticed it was leaking oil front the pan. so i puller the pan off and found the top half of a main cap bolt laying in the pan!? WTF !!

everything is new except cam, rockers and carb.
any thoughts on this??
