Hey guys, to answer a few questions I've missed:
-I'm not doing anything to the cylinder head. It's in perfectly good shape with the exception of the sludge buildup on the springs, which I'm not very worried about. The only risk is worn valve seals which could result in excess oil usage. The problem is, the N55 cylinder head is pretty complex and I'm a bit worried about maintenance-induced failure.
-I didn't actually check crankshaft end play. But because it's a brand-new crank on brand-new bearings I'd be shocked if it were out of spec.

This is just a hobby for me! I only have a 1-car garage so even doing this can be tricky at times. Feel free to PM me or start a thread if you have questions!
