Rebuild was no problem at all just took everything apart gave it a chemical soak then hit it with a dremel with bronze cup brush to clean everything off and out. DONT USE STEEL. Then use the rebuild kit to put back together in reverse. Paint first if you prefer.:thumb:

Nah right now its about taking my intake off and getting these damn leaking freeze/cast plugs taken care of along with some other thing first but the 64 is still in the future right now its about building the upgrades around this engine for the 2.4l.
