The plan is to take out the pistons of the L27 and have the bores gone over to knock the glaze out. Re-ring the L67 pistons as I am sure they have seen better days, plus get me back to original compression specs. At 90k, I doubt the L27 heads need attention but I will know more when they come off. I do know the L67 heads I have had seen MUCH better days, and would say they are good for nothing more than core-outs. (EDIT: No, the pistons didn't strike anything on the head that I pulled, I think I am all good there). The crankshaft I will have spec'd before I have any machine work done on it, and same with the connecting rods (though 2 bearings spun, I am only concerned about one of them needing attention, and if it is out of spec, I know where I can go get a few pistions in Orlando that are w/in spec). I also discovered a HUGE crack in the radiator-side exhaust manifold, but I can have that welded right up here at work.

I have, at the most, 3 months at the shop that the car can stay, as the owner will be away for 4 months, and the techs there are more than willing to work on my car for a few bucks straight to their pockets, plus I can go up there on my days off of work and check on progress. So I have alot of control on what goes into this motor and time can be taken to make sure I won't have to do this again for a long time to come.
