Engine rebuild tips, suggestions, warnings, etc?
« on: June 16, 2011, 09:52:40 PM »
I picked up a complete '91 B400 engine with all ancillary parts for $200 on eBay.  It turns and shifts well but has some sludge and badly sealed gaskets.  Also looking into the intake ports shows a bit too much rust build up to be comfortable with.  Since I (hopefully) won't actually be in need of an engine for many more years, I'm going to tear this one down, make it beautiful, and put it back together.  This will be a long term project.  Anyone care to chime in with tips, suggestions, warnings, gotchas' or sources for needed parts?  (Full gasket kit comes to mind).  Thanks in advance.
