left out from the above advice is a description of the pain involved in doing the head gaskets. The block is an alloy that will need threaded inserts for the cylinder head bolts on reassembly. To drill out the holes, you need a special fixture to get the angles right.

My machinist no longer has that fixture. He regrets lending it to somebody and never getting it back.

PS. If anybody has a spare fixture setup or plans for building one, I'd take it.
