So yep I have everything I will need for this to begin, and it has :)  I'm a 
happy camper.

  I ended up taking off the head because the one on my other engine is so nice 
and clean and recently was rebuilt. I decarbinized the pistons, but did not 
mess with the rings, that'll come later if need be. I got the crank in with the 
mains and measured the thrust washer gap using blade combinations...and it was 
8.5, I decided unless I'm wrong in thinking you can put new ones in without 
removing the engine, I will run it with the ones in it and order new ones for 
the day  I feel like getting to it, or the car tells me so.

   I am ready lube mains and rods and start reassembly. Is there anything I 
need to know about the seals, do any need any sort of epoxy or what have you? 
also with putting on the head any tips? 

 any and all suggsetions always welcome :)


  thanks guys, I'll keep you updated


             Todd
