Hello,
I am currently getting ready for an engine rebuild for my 69 TR6. I burned a valve, and then had the head rebuilt. I also rebuilt the rocker assembly. I also had the carbs rebuilt professionally. None of these items were reinstalled on the engine. I had planned on just do a ring job, but I found there is enough wear between cylinders that a ring job would be a marginal solution at best. I have decided that I want to invest the money to do a proper rebuild. I want my engine to remain stock. I was given a couple of good rebuilders from the forum last summer, but what I need help on is what services should I be asking for when I go to a shop, and what should I be expecting for this service in the way of costs? I always feel uncomfortable going to a shop, because I am not totally sure of what I should be asking for. A list of things I should be asking for would greatly be appreciated.
Kevin
