Marc will do a Super Restoration for sure but I am not so sure he Blocks Throttle Body Coolant.....

Blocking TB Coolant, Fluidyne Radiator and Thermostats

There is a BIG difference between TB Coolant Blocking and TB Coolant Bypass......I Block TB Coolant at the Injector Housing.

Detailed items of a Restoration do depend on the condition of the engine before you start.
Several Top End Restorations are described in my Signature of which Rebuilding the Starter is top on the list once the Plenum is removed.

One last item....The Oil Pressure Regulating Valve Cover Plate....see item #3 Potential Oil Leaks and the OPRV Cover Plate

With Engine Out....Replace Both 6mm x 15mm Bolts with 8mm Heads with 6mm x 15mm Bolts with 10mm Heads.
