well, i hoping for the best. i did use a little on the front cover area just in case. also, the mechanic that i had before i became some what knowledgable with engine did a lot a shady shit. he didnt put the front 2 (sub bolts) in the head, the 2 outside corner head bolts that are out sid ethe head, and the head gasket was slightly crooked and didnt ever deal properly.
so, i decided to tear it down and do it my self.

i dont have the actual tolerances on the piston to bore clearance(i just moved with my hands), but i was curious to what people had found. unfortunetly i cant get a hold of who did all the machine work because i am no longer speaking to the HACK mechanic that worked on this project before.

also, i tested the thermostat that i have and it should be fine. it opened and closed smoothly with hot water and cold water.
