Folk's
I am preparing for my wrench to install neu to me (well maintained 100k)
motor next week and wonder what else I might work on whilst in there.

Nope... I plan nothing beyond the RS2 it already is, but wonder what
wear
parts should be changed?
Tbelt, water pump, cps recently done.  Beyond manifold gaskets, and any
non
core connected heater hoses that should be newly installed, what else
might
be good to do?
Is now a good time to do any front end work that grants easier access
sans
motor?
Any thoughts, comments, jeers would be much appreciated.  I know I'll
forget
something.  Since I haven't driven it in about 3 mos., it should be like
getting a new car.
TIA

Bologna-

"S wap"?  No, Pizzo sold his '94 yearrrrrrrrrrs ago - sorry.  Maybe
applies to Vinnie B tho?

And now for something, completely different:  a man with a tape recorder
up his nose.  Yes, there are a few *key* important things for you to be
SURE to address:

-7th Fetzer Valve
-30w antifreeze
-ball bearings - it's all ball bearings these daze

Now, beyond that - seeing as you're pushing the boat waaaaaaaaaay out...

How about looking at that carbon valve thingy upunder the intake that
Manuel Sanchez had some issue with last year.  A real biatch to access
IIRC (which I usually don't).  Peter's rack suggestion is clutch
(differn't than your Sachs race clutch that is).  Now's the time to
paint as much of that engine / bay RED as possible soas to match the
rest of yer rig.

Beyond THAT?  

Def. one of them "intake supercharger insert thingys", yes, fersure
fercertain.

Good luck to you sir.  Do make sure to do the job at least 2x - as the
trans would otherwise be rendered jealous?
