You can't start a rebuild without an engine pull and teardown.

If you're froggy, hop on down to Alvin and get some engine pulling action!

Surely a couple of more people want to help set up???

Another question, who amongst you in Houston can do porting? Would be nice to port the heck out of my motor while I have it apart...
