Well Bentley details a reamer to remove crud and a number of special 
pullers that I don't readily see how you could do without due to the 
damn water jacket.  Anybody with easy suggestions would sure be 
appreciated.

For parts Fast German Auto (advertises in A/C mags) seems to offer
kits, bearing, pistons, liners etc in the $650 range if I recall but 
I can't find any ads around.
