Much thanks for the help, i appreciate it alot. But i was thinking of leaving the head alone, since it works just fine and i really dont have the money or the experteese to start messing with that too.. The importaint thing for me is that i get the engine into solid running condition, so it will last a couple of years of normal abuse (that meaning occasional spirited driving, and perhaps a mild track day every once and a while).

There will be time for me to really get into things,perhaps think about swapping in a 20v or tuning this one; but for now i just wanna drive and experience the car as it is. In couple of years time ill study this more accurately, and then it will be time for doing things right.

For now i just want to have a reliable engine that would preform decently and enable me to lern on the car dynamics and all that, sice i didnt get the chance to do it (enough) before.

So can i just fix the bottom (meaning the bearings, crankshaft, oil-ways), or will that just not be enough?
