Why an engine rebuild? Does it burn oil? M104's run very well for a very long time, mine had 361K miles until a head gasket failure. Compression test at 180K and around 310K were perfect. Consider a compression or leak down test before pulling the engine apart. The rebuild could be $$$ and time with no gain.
Good luck!!!

Thanks for the suggestions! I know Stabil generally keeps fuel good for 1 year. I doubt I will use a full tank of gas in that period, so is it easy to drain the fuel?
I think I misspoke also, I meant engine compartment rebuild, not the internal parts... Everything is old and corroded and needs replacing, including the headgasket.
