My 306 has 30k on it since new in 2001.
I've got a bad piston ring in number 5, so while I've got it out, I think I'll stroke it.

I think I can probably reuse my flattop TRW pistons, but little else on the shortblock.
I drive the hell out of it.
I plan on putting my TFS TW heads back on too.
But probably new springs, lifters, and pushrods since I use 1.7 rr's. I've got a 75mm tb, 80mm MAF, and 24# inj.

I plan on doing this next month, all machine work will be done by a reputable local shop.
Thanks for any tips...
