thorburn 120 Report post Posted June 13, 2011 All depends on the condition of the engine. Pistons, rings and a hone might be all you need. While it's apart i'm sure you'll find if you need anything else. Plus you'll want to change the headgaskets, studs, and the usual bits. Not sure if these blocks are anything like the alloy 6 cylinder blocks strength wise. If they are you should probably helicoil the block Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
