Hi all, I’m in the process of disassembling my engine. I can’t tell when it last ran, at a best guess at least 20 if not 30 years ago. It turns over by hand so I know it’s not seized. It’s my first attempt at disassembling an engine so it’s a new one on me. I’m planning on rebuilding it to standard specification. Basically I need to know what I should get done aside from dropping off the bare head and block to be hot tanked. Should I ask the shop to do anything else?
When it comes to rebuilding should I look at replacing the valves and pistons due to the amount of time they have sat unused in god knows what state?
Sorry for the seemingly simple questions but I want to give this a good go and thought I’d best find out what I need to ask for before I drop off the disassembled engine and get it back and find out I didn’t ask for something that needs to be done before building it back up.
