After talking with my buddy he determined I should be looking at around$1000.00 in misc. parts and labor for a basic cleaning and rebuild. Since all I want to do is do intake/exhaust/and a mild cam, would I be better off pulling my hair out to save a few hundred, or is a reman something I should be looking for ($1300.00 at Advance). I'm not looking to make tons of power, or make long trips, if that helps. Please weigh in...Thanks,
jay
Your lack of preparation is not my emergency

One thing I would do if I did it over again was pull the pistons up and replace the rings. Still not big bucks.
