I plan to tear the motor down and have the machine shop do the prep work on the block. New liners and hone to match pistons. Zero deck the block. Resize rods and balance. Line hone mains, etc, etc. Rotating assy balanced.

I plan to put the rest of the bottom end together myself. Head will be shipped out too.
