So my 86 NA engine has low compression in one cylinder, and I'm taking it out to get rebuilt. Not going for big power numbers, just a reliable build, but if something is easy to do during the process I wouldn't be opposed to it (Bore out for VG33 pistons if it needs to be bored/new pistons anyway or something) Right now, I'm planning on the following:
Machine Shop
- Repair cylinder (I think it's the rings)
- Polish crank
- Hot tank block
- Check bores
- Anything else to get back to stock
Myself
- Injector clean and rebuild (From 85T)
- New timing belt, stud, tensioner
- New water pump
- All new gaskets as needed
- New coolant hoses on engine
- New accessory belts
- New CHTS
- Clean MAF
I'm sure I'm missing at least a few things, what else should I try to take care of while the engine is out?
