while your in there use some ARP mainstuds and headstuds, oh and deck both the head and block if you use a cometic MLS. And for a break in procedue i go out and give the motor a good work out (meaning i rape it). Oh better put a clutch in if you have a M/T. I dont know if thats all but its something. Are you planning on doing the rebuild yourself or having a shop perform the rebuild? (i would reccomend you have the shop at least do the rotating assembly the rest is easy).
