I found a good machine shop and they were terrific.
If it were me I would taken them the block and the head and have them go through it. I was surprised how reasonable it was. I even had them assemble and torque it for me.
I got Wossner forged pistons and love them. Around $500 a set with pins, rings, clips.
I used all american bearings. We replaced the exhaust valve guides and the exhaust valves......this engine had suffered from a bad MAF.
We removed the balance shafts and blocked the oil passages to the shafts.
I am VERY happy with this engine.
