Re: EG33 "resto"

You should be basically set with just a "top end" rebuild. Aka, head gaskets up. I'm sure you will find that the factory cross hashing will still be visible, as is the case even with 200k+mile EG33's. They are very stout engines. When you do this, I would advise getting Cometic head gaskets if you plan on keeping the car for years to come. They are very pricey, but worth every penny if you intend on owning the car for many years. Also, make sure to get new head bolts and follow the torquing sequence closely upon reassembly.
