should i buy i rebuild kit?

[Atekk_90RS]

ok heres the deal.....i picked up a 1990 Laser RS non turbo for 300 bucks cuz the timing belt broke.....of course bent vavles.
this leads to 2 questions

1. its been sitting a while with the head off so the block & piston heads have a bit of rust on them. also the engine has about 128K miles on it.......am i in need of a rebuild kit??

2. the top of piston #2 has a small knick in it..it doesnt leak fluid ive tested it...would it be ok to use or would the knick cause trouble? and is there any way to fix that?

No you won't need a rebuild kit unless you want to do a "freshen up" on the block. The rust on the block can be taken off using a fine scotch brite pad or rotory cleaning discs on a drill. THen spray the block with wd-40 to prevent rusting until you put the head back on. The nick I wouldn't wory about unless it is very significant.
