Re: Building a motor, where to start?

Yep, Gosh can do all that. You'll want to give him the pistons so he can bore with the appropriate cylinder to wall clearance, book specs are good enough, he checks each piston. You'll want the usual stuff you hear about, align hone the mains because of the girdle, torque plate hone the cylinders, sonic bath, new freeze plugs, etc. He can do the assembly, but it's not that hard, follow the manual closely and ask questions if needed.

You'll need to clearance a 2.0 block depending on the rods you get, you'll do that after machining and such, but you could also probably do it just dropping the 2.4 crank in the block with junk bearings, bolt up the old rods and pistons and add a few mm to how much you'd take out with the thickness of stock rods. I probably have a few aftermarket rods laying around you could mock up with.

Other things like keeping or removing the oil squirters, BS's, stuff like that is all pretty self explanatory.
