Okay, so back to looking at the engine again.

My brother is the engine guy, of the two of us, and he thinks we'd be better off just putting it back together. Having the heads done at the machine shop, get new sleeves/bearing etc. and maybe have the crank turned...but then just put it back together. Which means I would still need to find rings.

The only problem it ever had was the oil pump started squealing right before I tore it down, it was seeping at various gaskets/seals, and there had always been a valve issue with it if the timing wasn't set out of specs (don't ask, I have no idea but clearly something in the heads). It never smoked at all, really it ran great. Kinda back to ticked that I got talked into tearing it apart in the first place now.

Anyway, that's what I think we're going to do. I talked to the machine shop and they're going to do the heads for $150 and would polish the crank for $20, but I was just looking at it and I think it's going to need turned, as it is a bit scored in places.
