If you have been on the list a year or so, I asked questions then about
rebuilding an engine vs. having someone else do it. The answer came back
resoundingly that I should do it myself. I have been pursuing this course
and have picked up an earlyish MGB engine (pre air rail) and have been
working on it so that when I blow another head gasket, I can swap the old
engine out and put this freshly rebuilt one in the car. I have the block
back from the machine shop, and it has been decked so that it's flat.
The head will be skimmed too, however it is still at the machine shop,
This discussion of geometry comes at a good time for me, as within the next
month or so, I will be reassembling this new engine. What should I have
the machine shop do to make sure the engine will be correct, and what
should I check myself? Thanks in advance, and if you need more detail on
what's been done with the engine, I will be happy to supply it.
