The only engine I did any serious work on was the LSJ in my Ion Redline, and I had it down to a short block where I discovered the bores looked good so I left the factory bottom end intact and re-gasketed it and installed in the car... it ran great, though I missed that the Head coulda used valve seals, so it smoked for about five min from cold start but ran great otherwise...
