Nate, I just did a major overhaul on my M over the summer. I brought the block and head to a machine shop, had it taken apart (removing the crank is tough without the tools or knowledge and I had neither), crank ground and new bearings replaced, cam checked, complete engine kit (sleeves/pistons/rings/bearings), I had the head completly rebuilt, deck resurfaced, and the short block re-assembled. All in all I spent $3,200 on the rebuild (just the engine). Sounds like your going to be doing the brunt of the work yourself so you should be saving much more than I did so my advice would be if your going to do it, do it right (im glad i did). take it to a machine shop, they will check the block/head for you to ensure that its not cracked, and tell you what needs to be done. Then you can decide how far you want them to go before you begin the rebuild. Best of luck, sounds like a cool project, give us updates on how it goes! ~Anthony
