Rebuild Questions

[b00stingsx]

ok i am rebuilding my engine, and have a few questions. I ordered the complete engine rebuild kit with .02 over pistons, so i need to have the block machined. I know they machine the cylinders, and they "deck" the top of it, but what else do they do. also, should i have anything else machined while i am at it?

also, my valves are all out of whack b/c they hit the pistons. Is it hard to rebuild a head? do i need special tools? would it be a better choice to take that in to a shop and have them rebuild it?

Any good machine shops in town?

bore the block, provide the new pistons for the machinist for measurements.

resurface the block and head. milling/deck is required if yours is in bad condition.

you do need a special tool to get to the valves, you should have the machinist replace your valves and valve stem seals. also if you want, he can do the 3 angle valve job so you can have a better seal. you might also have to replace your guides too.

good luck.

later.
