That would at least narrow it down to rings or valves.

Side note, any plans to get fairladyz.com back up? The autoFAQ with Nytwolf's PDF doesn't work any more. I have it on my HD, but I was just curious.

As for your engine pull, on to my recommended list. This is just stuff in the engine bay and on the car, not including any work on the actual block and heads:

Must haves/must do:

95+ style injectors

95+ EFI harness

95+ CAS

All coolant hoses, either with new OEM pieces or fuel injection hose if you want a cheaper alternative for the straighter pieces. The angled ones you probably want to go OEM, or make your own aluminum hardlines. Get a bunch of the OEM spring clamps too. Don't do worm clamps as many locations are impossible to reach with the engine in the car.

New motor mounts, either OEM or the Ford units (which I think are cheaper)

Replace all the fuel line as far back as the underchassis hardlines. If they're original hoses, there won't be a better or easier time to access and change them.

Coolant TB line bypass.

Nice to do:

Z1 Silicone heater core hoses. I got the burnt orange ones, because they were $10 cheaper, and no one can see them once installed.

EGR delete. I have a set of exhaust manifolds with the plug already installed.

Steering rack bushings, if not already done, are very easy to access now.
