Rant of the day - "complete" cam kits

[Keeper]

So there I am finally getting around to building my engine, since my front end parts should be here soon(Thanks Ron) I needed it together for the "rolling chassis" phase.

I am tooling right along, crank in, pistons installed, oil pump mounted,heads installed. I stab the cam in and grab the timing chain only to find out...I HAVE NO CAM BOLTS!!!!

WTH kind of "Complete" kit gives you absolutely everything except the cam bolts for the upper gear.

Cam, lifters, timing chain, lube, rockers, push rods...but no bolts....so now I have to stop everything and hit the parts shop tomorrow.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh

Other then that it was a great weekend in the garage.

You could have bought a Crane cam.And really be screwed.

No hardware store nearby?

Nah everything was closed. Probably a good thing as it was about 100 degrees in the garage and very sticky. I will pick some up this afternoon.

Still cannot believe they didn't come in the kit.
