One of my winter tasks is to build a stock 2.0 with my MicroSquirt fuel injection that I can install in my car and get it dyno tuned. That's been the missing piece of my MicroSquirt setup for the last few years.
Since there isn't much demand for a stock 2.0, I just plan on doing the minimum to build a solid motor. I plan on having the valves reground, cylinder surfaces machined and reringing the pistons. Regrinding the cam and rebuilding the rods and all new bearings as well. This should give me a motor that will last through the testing, and be worth something when I'm done to pass on to a new owner at a nice price. This thread does not represent my standard procedures for rebuilding engines. This is a special case and special circumstances. For those of you on a budget, but looking to refresh their motor should appreciate this writeup. Starting off with a core engine. The previous owner mentioned this engine had a 'knock', so I'll be on the lookout for what might have caused that. This is a 'GC' code engine with air injection ports in the heads.

I have done a number of complete rebuilds in my day. But unless you do it often you over look these types of details and something as simple as a damaged keyway can cause untold frustration on assembly.
