But you should keep it dirty and running, rather than sprucing it up all nice
and fine.
Just swap stock for stock if you want the easiest time of it...But if you want
to port and polish and powdercoat and blah blah blah, make sure the engine runs
on a stand after all of these things have been done to it, otherwise the engine
becomes an unknown again...
