    Another Update...

    I decided it would be best to swap the head in off of my other engine and see what happens. Unfourtunatley I broke the base seal while taking the head off so I think it would be best to just take the cylinders off and have a look at everything. Since this will be the first time rebuilding anything bigger than a lawn mower engine I'm looking for a little direction.

    I'm assuming I will need to bring the cylinders to a machine shop to have them measured and they will tell me if I need new pistons/rings. What are the chances that everything will be just fine w/ the rings and pistons (the engine has about 50K miles on it)? Is it possible that all I will need is to just replace the rings with new OE size rings? What else should I be looking into?

    Thanks again...
