Does anyone make rebuild kits for these engines or do you have to piece one together yourself?
I've got the heads at the machine shop right now getting freshened up. What needs to be done to the bottom end? Rings/crank journal bearings/cam bearings/etc?
By observation the bottom end looks decent. Cylinder walls look OK, etc.
Are there different levels of rebuild? Like since I've got it out apart if everything checks out are there certain parts you replace just for good measure?
First engine rebuild, trying to figure things out.
Same with the gaskets, is there a kit available or do I have to piece one together?
Brands? Vendors?
