Thanks... She puts up with the diesel, so I kept her around!

I'm planning on using the Bosch actually, after reading all of Tom's findings. Not really much price difference either from the GMB. As for rings, I ordered a set of Deves rings, which even have a 2 piece 2nd compression ring. Jim, the owner of Archway spoke pretty highly of them, and used to run them in his race engines back in his off road racing days. Lets hope the quality is still the same. The block is standard and staying that way. It has almost no wear. The rings were totally shot, but the rest of it is nice. As for rods, I found there to be almost no variance in piston height. Kinda a nice suprise from what I have heard Tom finding sometimes. The pistons were all within a few thousands of each other.
