Message	Also, like above, unless you have some good mechanical expertise its best to pay someone to do it (or buy a good rebuilt engine) Usually rhe head will warp well before the block, but what you also have to worry about is how long it has sat (between running) with coolant in the cylinders, rusting the cylinder walls. Any light rust and you will be burning through tons of oil and blowing seals due to high crankcase pressure ------------------------------------------------------------------ 1992 300ZX NA 5 Sp (Dead) 1990 300ZX NA Auto 2+2 (Dead) 1990 300ZX TT 5 Sp (Building) 2004 G35 Sport 6MT (DD)
