Remove any studs or other parts that might hinder or cost you more money for them to remove to work on the block.<br /><br />TMD

Hi Dave ! If its a boat machine shop they will most likley do enything you are willing to pay for . Just make sure that all surfaces are replaned including your head and block and lower end,exhaust manifold surfaces . If they are boring block remove intake covers and exhaust manifold and recirculator covers . I also had them glass bead to clean block and exhaust manifold and head . If you took it this far you can save a lot of money by doing most of it yourself except mabe pressing the pistons onto the connection rods, boring and resurfacing . Dont forget about main bearing needs to be pressed on crank if it needs to be replaced . Label everthing from where it once came from ! Good luck Jim !
