I did initially. The only change I made was to the head gasket, going with the Factory Toyota Head Gasket due to some head sealing issues with the Rock Gasket. If I had it to do all over again, I would probably end up going all Toyota. Nothing against Rock Auto, but after comparing the true Toyota Gaskets, I preferred the quality.

Yep, I have posted up on that thread with additional information as well. I believe I am page 3 of that thread. I am going to most likely re-ring this engine at some point, but it all depends on timing. This isn't my DD, so it's not quite as critical. In the 2 years since they rebuild, I have put about 6,000 miles on the engine.

I am also waiting to see. A buddy of mine has an extra 22ret block, heads, etc that he's willing to give me, so now I'm contemplating building a Turbo engine instead, after which I will have all the time in the world to re-ring this engine.
