the guy i bought the engine off said he had the engine rebuilt and hoofed it up a straight road right away without running it in or anything and the engine then started to smoke and was running on three cylinders after richard bradley checked it out.

Im not gona bother buying a new engine and doing away with the one i have, i just wanna know what exactly needs done as regards a rebuild.
Not much good to you now but never buy an engine like that again if you expect to use most of the bits in it.
My block was damaged so i went fully forged 2.2 otherwise id have kept it standard enough
