Excellent news! So are you going to assemble the block or are they doing it. Did you remember to put that timing thing ( I don't have a f-ing clue what it's called ) back on the front of the block? It needs to be machined with it.
You have options. Get the cylinders bored out .020 (you'll need new pistons then) or having them sleeved. I had a cylinder sleeved on my 87 gte engine I put in my 86.5. As long as you're not looking for crazy horsepower, which I don't think you are if you going have stock internals, then it...
Hey Craig, glad to see you're still lurking around when you're not Airbusing all over the Middle East!
I'm getting a tad more comfortable keeping my eyes on the road more with every passing day.
Hope to see ya around Houston in March.
Ask the shop about painting it. Mine came back all nice and pretty. Make sure they replace the oil pump drive shaft bearings!!!!
Also!! Make sure that they machine that timing belt housing thing with it attached to the block. If it's not machined with the block, then your hg will not seal...

The other you mentioned I will need to investigate further when it's above freezing outside! It's the wind that I hate more.
I haven't heard the gurgling since after the first few days of having it running and the coolant level remained consistent up until a few days ago. Today is the first time a puddle has been left anywhere. It was probably a little more than an antifreeze jug capful. This leaked on a very cold...
Linc, you'll need the head machined also.
On my 86.5, I used a Titan Motorsport MHG only because I got it, the ARP bolts, and a brand new Koyo radiator for only $200. HKS Stopper is reportedly the best out there but it's mucho $$$$ and the machine work has to be top notch. Cometics, I hear...
Well you and Poodles have made me feel better about the gauge.
As far as the CSI line, I'm not into the bling either.
Today I started it up and it had been sitting outside and of course it's in the 20's here. When it cranked up there was this horrible loud sound on the intake side that...
