Did you ever assemble an engine and after torqueing the last head stud, you 
notice a single bright shiny oil ring in the box with the slips of empty 
ring wrap paper...?

...and after you disassemble the engine again, you learn that it was 
another ring from somewhere else and not something you left out?

I did the same thing with stem seals on a pair of bigblock Mopar 
heads...  found a nice new one in the bottom of the box after the heads 
were back on the engine and valve covers bolted back on.     ...got an 
extra one, but I had to check to see for sure, nowhere nearly as much 
hassle as taking the Vair engine apart again but it still wasn't much 
fun.
