Hey guys, need some input here!

I pulled the motor from my parts jeep and am going to put all new gaskets and seals in it.

What else you guys think i should do while i have the head off? The motor is on an engine stand so i can do whatever i want!

1. I dont think it needs a full rebuild but am not sure, whats a good indication that it might?

2. Also i need to know what a decent price is to be expected to pay for the head to be flattened/magnafluxed etc and have the valves redone.


the obvious answer is rebuild/stroke it, but i plan on stroking the motor i take out of my jeep. i just need this one reliable while i build the other engine.

I'd say replace all the freeze plugs since you'll have easy access, what miles on the motor? If its high a simple rebuild would be safe
