You know what your problem is, Ed? You're a bloody perfectinosit! <G>
Sure, if you want it perfect you have to pull the engine and hot tank the
block and align bore the mains and fit new cam bearings and have them align
bored, yada yada yada. But swapping in new pistons and sleeves and bearings
will
give you 20 years of happy driving given the amount of driving these cars
typically get. Well worth the investment.
