That sounds kinda counter-productive to me. IMHO, run the car as-is (it was bought as a legal car right?) and see what it has to tell you and learn from that. You'll have all winter to take it apart and freshen it or "improve" it.

Everybody has a different situation as to why something works for them. As I posted in my build thread, I have Stage 4 Prostate Cancer, and just had to have spinal surgery 3 weeks ago to remove a tumor that was pressing against my spinal cord and basically paralyzing my legs. Surgery corrected that, but I'm still several weeks out from being able to race. So what better time than to go through the car, while I'm sidelined? And while part of it is to verify legality, the main part is just to make sure that everything is in good shape. There is not a log on this engine showing runs, and it was built in 2014. I'd rather do the maintenance now, than have it come apart for something I could have prevented. It won't take long to do, my 2 sons are involved in the physical labor part, and I have a full machine shop at my disposal, so no down time there.
