Okay, so I've been very casually working on my engine. It's still in the car, but I've removed the intake manifold, everything on the front of the engine and I've dropped the oil pan. Now that I've got a good view of the guts, here's my modest plan for rejuvenating the engine: (1) install new timing chain; (2) re-ring pistons; (3) new rod bearings; (4) new main bearings; and (5) new rear main seal. I'm thinking of pulling the heads off with the manifolds attached, since those manifold bolts look pretty grim. Any thoughts or recommendations? I realize the proper way for doing this would be to pull the engine and have it properly cleaned and reconditioned, but I don't think it will fit neatly in the back of my little Saab.
Thanks in advance - Dave
