well i got the report on my engine. block totaly apart, every thing hot tanked and miked. Everything looks good so we are going to resize the rods, new main bearings and new rings. Also we will totals rebuild the heads. Both heads gaskets were blown between all the cylinders, looks like the have been that way for a lil while. Hoping to pick up a few mph with the fresh engine.

Sounds basically the same as what I did to my motor last time..... Those 500EFIs are pretty much bullet proof on the bottom end.
