Glad to hear its running again. What was wrong with it again where it would not crank, it was rubbing the timing cover wasn't it?

ya that was the second timing cover i got, so i just got one from the dealership, so that was my third one

but the main thing was that it locked up on me. One of the rod bearings went out. and whenever they took the engine apart mostly all of them were going out

No I ment after they rebuilt it and it would not turn over you never really told us what happened with that. I assumed it was the timing cover problem you were having. Regardless its must be really nice to be driving the car again. Just take it easy break in the motor and be sure to not keep it at the same rpm's all the time so the rings seat really well.
