Where did my engine block go?
I just started with this simulator and I must say the learning curve is not flat. I pulled the engine on my POS car and it disappeared. Not hanging from the hoist and not on the stand. When I try to use the stand it says I have no parts. I bought another block just in case and it still says no parts. All I have been able to do so far is sell a car and rebuild some brakes. Woopie. It would be nice if there was some direction to follow, i.e. work orders, etc. Am I supposed to be just going willy nilly at a restoration? That's fine, but I would like to know what the object here is to start with.

I've had that happen. The only fix I know of is to buy a new engine block, move the engine stand next to the car. (The stand will say there's no part.) Click on the stand to put the engine in the car. Your new block will disappear from your inventory. And the old rusty engine will appear in your car.

That was using the tutorial. I have started over without it and seem to be doing better. Haven't tried removing any engines yet, though.

really? when you take an engine out of the car you should be able to find it in your Inventory. You will not see it anywhere at this point. Youhave to go to the engine crane using the pie menu for the crane you can reinstall it, or you can go over to the engine stand, click on it, and again in pie menu you should be able to click on add engine to stand. after you click on that it should show you all engine groups you have in your inventory and you should be able to choose which engine you want to install on the stand.
