Hey peewee, check out the 'Technical reference library' for 6.2 & 6.5, it should have what you need.

You can send your rings to total seal and they will make them hapless fo$90

929 is your block #, one of the better ones, I think the first is your date code, a search may yield results. Someone will know the codes.

Flip it over and let the oil drain overnight. In the AM any mains cracks will show up as black lines from engine oil.

You may look into a rental of some sort to take the pressure off. To the point: take the time to do things right the first time rather than doing it over. There is ALWAYS time to do it over...

That said vendors have parts laying around sometimes and can/will overnight them.
