I got a really cool timing set on ebay from http://www.engnbldr.com that included a drivers side steel guide<img src="/forums/images/graemlins/mrt.gif" alt="" />. I found it listed on an ebay sale and the price was better than the local parts store. I also got a head gasket set with head bolts there too.

This afternoon we cleaned the bores real good and squirted a little 5W-30 down the bores. As a result they seem to tighten up a bit. So after turning the crank somemore and some final wigglin' we decided the bottom end was OK and gonna get some more miles out of it.
