Could someone help me refresh my memory, what is a good price on a two bolt
short block?  I might need one.

New Forged (stronger), Overbore (more powerful), non-interfering (no more
bent valves!) pistons with your choice of compression: $650
 
Parts and labor to do a shortblock rebuild: $800-1300.
 
New block that is stronger, more powerful and more reliable than any stock
block: Priceless.
 
OEM shortblock, I hear $1500 is awesome, 2000 is avarage, 2800 is MSRP.

I wish I could, but it was a bottle of something I picked up from the local
hardware store in Germany.  It had the consistency of caulk, went on white,
dried clear and sealed so well that the evaporated moisture couldn't get
out - doh!

Subject: Team3S: Caliper Rebuild Grease
 
I recently bought the Beck Arnley front caliper rebuild kit (071-7888) for
my 92 Stealth Turbo and I have a question about the grease that is mentioned
in the service manual.  The service manual says that there is supposed to be
a grease packet (orange) with the rebuild kit and the piston seals are
supposed to be coated with a "special grease".  The Beck Arnley kit did not
come with either of these greases.  What type of grease should I use for
each of these?  I also read somewhere that you can just use brake fluid on
the seals instead of grease.  Does anyone know if this is true?
 
Thanks.
