Pulled the pan yesterday. Visually everything looks good but I am no expert. Also wanted to show off my new engine stand. Old one is on craigslist $45

I would be pulling the pistons, being this is the stock engine. Take it down completely, inspect all the ring lands and rod bearings, look at the upper bearing for any wiping of the bearing, detonation and hydraulicing of the cylinder will show up here also. This is something you need to do regardless, water/alum/iron do not mix well, stuck rings, corrosion marks or pitting occur.

I like your garage floor. Is that textured concrete, with a stamping?

Actually it is 2'x2' Rubber tiles. Industrial Grade. We have driven 6000 lb.Forklifts on it and doesn't hurt it one bit.

Get those pistons out and inspect them.

Tiles, glued down?

The tiles are actually 1" thick. Each tile weighs about 8 lbs. It took 2 trips in my 3/4 pick up to bring home 1200 sq. feet of tile. Enough to do my barn. The tiles do not glue down but you can pin them together with plastic barbed dowel pins. I do have more if anyone is interested.

I'm getting ready to spend $1800 on an epoxy job for my garage and it's only 580 sq.ft. How much are they and what colors can I get them in?

I have some tan and some grey left. The tan is a little nicer. $1.00 a square foot.
