I had an engine that locked up. It had a new oil pump that just decided it didnt want to pick up oil that day. So... it ran for about 5 minutes, turned it off and waited a while... ran again for 5 minutes later and then sat for a longer time... then ran for 5 minutes again and thats when it locked up. I am gonna take the head off and maybe tear the whole thing down. I have never taken an m20 apart before but if at all possible I would really like to rebuild this engine myself as a project. Should I take it apart down to bare block and take it to a machine shop and see what they say about bearing surfaces and what not? Or should it be obvious if the block/head cant be reused because of the bearing surfaces in the block/head? What should I look for to know if its reusable or not?
