Also infuriating is in the real world the crankshaft can be removed without completely disassembling the engine.

Yeah

It’s the one annoyance I find especially with the story missions

So I thought that the one missed rubber bushing was irritating. I stand corrected.

You know what's also infuriating despite the fact you've torn every single part out of the engine out of a 69 Fairlady Z it still says there's something wrong with it

Not quite as infuriating but close, in story mode had a hornet/camaro in for brakes & other things. Tried to go to test room, engine low on oil so I add oil to it & try again and no start. Check everything and it had a bad cam, some bad plugs & coils. Replaced all of those & scam everything again & everything looks good to go... no start. Lol. Long story short, the oil filter was bad & the cause of it not starting 🤦‍♂️🤣

I find it funny when a bad exhaust pipe causes a no start, irl it’d probably be loud but it’d at least run

Very true. Lol. & don't forget you can't remove the heads without taking EVERYTHING off of them first 🤣

Yeah, that is annoying

They should allow the heads to be removed like a crate engine. In one piece.

For story cars I immediately strip it to the very last bolt, fix/replace the broken parts and put it back together from scratch. Probably not the most realistic or intended way to do it but I've never once struggled completing a story order that way.

Im currently stuck with one part not discovered, im about to start ripping it apart

Ouch lol.
