One of my winter tasks is to build a stock 2.0 with my MicroSquirt fuel injection that I can install in my car and get it dyno tuned. That's been the missing piece of my MicroSquirt setup for the last few years.
Since there isn't much demand for a stock 2.0, I just plan on doing the minimum to build a solid motor. I plan on having the valves reground, cylinder surfaces machined and reringing the pistons. Regrinding the cam and rebuilding the rods and all new bearings as well. This should give me a motor that will last through the testing, and be worth something when I'm done to pass on to a new owner at a nice price. This thread does not represent my standard procedures for rebuilding engines. This is a special case and special circumstances. For those of you on a budget, but looking to refresh their motor should appreciate this writeup. Starting off with a core engine. The previous owner mentioned this engine had a 'knock', so I'll be on the lookout for what might have caused that. This is a 'GC' code engine with air injection ports in the heads.

Another issue that I found was that the cam install was pretty much wrong every way possible. The grinding on the bolts is atrocious, but I can ignore the lack of concern for aesthetics. One of the bolts holding the cam gear on was left a little too long and was contacting the oil pump. This could have been another source of noise. The cam has slight movement front to back, so so it can make noise under some conditions and not others.
