The head doesn't appear to be a stock 3b head.  It matches the block in 
machining.  I saw no issues with the block, cylinders or liners.  The head 
looked fine as well, except for some oil accumulation in the intake more 
than likely from the turbo.   The pistons are definately low compression 
with overall smaller displacement.  Engine used Head Bolts (from what 
appears to be a 10V with taller threads) not studs.  The head gasket was a 
fiber.

I'm going to replace with ARP head bolts and metal head gasket.   Current 
plan is to reinstall the rebuilt RS2 Comp turbo and then seek changes to 
the ECU based on the exact Compression Ratio.

Thanks
James
