Show me a close-up picture like the one Tony posted of the middle head bolt/oil galley hole of a machined, non-cracked block. Until then, 7 out of 7 blocks (from different machine shops) is hard to dispute IMHO. I could be very unlucky, but more likely is that most people don't look super...
For what it's worth, I have NEVER seen a 7m block that has been machined that did not have at least one crack. Two of them did not have this crack apparent prior to machining... My block has 1, in the exact location pictured (which, by the way, is the best picture I've seen of it yet -- my...
The starter is fairly straight-forward. I generally use a number of extensions with 1 universal (wobbly) joint to get to the top starter bolt (socket-wrench will be just in front of/below the alternator)

one of the lower transmission supports ("wings") is the same on automatics and 5-spds. I can't recall which side it was though :(
You'll also want to make sure if you have ABS, that you get a transmission from a car with ABS. The automatic sensor will not fit in the manual transmission...
You are correct, many of them are not hard. However, some seem to be easy but are misleading so it would be less accurate to list only the ones that are unusual
Being from a redneck area, I'll be the first to admit I don't know how to properly pronounce the names of many aftermarket companies. So with your help, I'd like to make a list and eventually put it in the resource area.
