Default What to do to engine while out of the car

I am about to do an engine swap on my SC. I bought a 993 (1997) Varioram, and I wonder what are the recommended things to do to the engine while it is out of the car.

I owned a 964 before, but never a 993, so I wonder if there is an difference (e.g. vlve adjustment).

Also, i heard that valve guide tend to be a problem with the 993 engine. Is this something easy to replace.

Thanks and cheers,

A partial list:
Valve guides, lifters, plugs, wires, timing cover gaskets, clutch, flywheel, clean Secondary Air Injection ports.

Sounds like a fun ride, please post pics when completed.

You can find a lot of information in the archives. There are several threads on this topic.

TPC or Turbo ;-)

LWF

Refresh the caps and rotors, plugs, wires, belts, valve cover gaskets. Its a PIA to do it later.

mmasse,

Graham is correct - in fact just a couple of weeks ago there was a long thread on this topic....
