DO you really want a VOA reman engine? I have taken my share apart and I have not been impressed for the most part. The 2.1 con rods use a stretch to yield bolt and when the bolt is changed you need to resize the big end of the rods as well. I don't use 2.1 rod bolts I use 1.9 bolts they are not stretch to yield. I biuld a very nice engine and can offer some upgrades bigger valves and the like.
