Nice update to your other thread. Glad it is back up.

Did you end up doing all the cylinders?

Did you have any issues with the head (valves, flatness, clean up)? Or just pull it and put it back on?

Yup, did all new pistons, new rod bearings for Cyl.1

I'm surprised I didn't take a picture of the head - the valves seem fine, if I had the time I probably would have sent off to have the seats re-cut but I don't feel bad about putting it back on. Didn't have any issues scraping the head or the block and havent had any issues so far with the head gasket.

Well, add me to the list of happy customers.

I tried a few combinations of PCM controlling the fan I am still optimistic that its possible, but at $50 a credit and needing at least 2 credits...... I'm taking a pause perusing that right now. Because I am a cheap bastard, I wound up using the Widget man PWM Fan controller, I purchased it through Ebay, but you can save a buck purchasing direct from him. Add this with a T-tap of your choosing to the positive line of your ECT sensor (like an orange or yellowish color if I remember correctly) and set the dip switches as following...
