got a couple rebuild questions

Boy, you sure like opening cans o' worms don't you?
Just be aware that your engine could have enough cylinder wear (bowed in the middle, running on a bias, etc.) to where the block might need to be bored oversize to true it back up. That means getting new pistons, so don't go buying new rings until you get the block checked over at the machine shop for any "surprises".

I've found sbc engine bearing and gasket sets around before that were good prices on ebay but be careful what you buy on there. You might wanna just look for a rebuild kit at northern auto parts or somewhere similar. I've heard Northern has good kits and the kits can even be upgraded with hotter cams,different piston, etc. Im not sure if they have lt-1 kits but it might be worth it to look. Btw as far as their cams go im not sure how good there performance ones are but ive heard good things about their kits. northernautoparts.com

So I pulled the motor apart today the block looks great bearings had some wear on them especially cylinder 2 the cylinders look good a few scratches I took a piece of round bar and cut it to the bore and spun it around inside seems good and round but I'm still getting it looked at... now the piece of metal that holds the lifters down can I drill some holes in it for oil drain the cars only ran for 2-3 hours and there's already some thick oil there
