Also, go to the technical library section and read up on decarbonizing the engine and replacing the head gasket. Doing these procedures will give you a chance to see the general condition of the cylinder and piston. Once you get the top of the piston clean, you will be able to see if it is standard size or oversized. This will give you some insight on to the repair history of the engine.

Don't forget to change the motor oil. It holds 1.5 quarts. It is very important not to overfill the oil pan.
