guys rebuilding your own motors...

[hi officer]

where are you buying your gasket sets from....for example bearings, headgaskets, rings.... thanks

Anything along those lines, I always buy OEM...Ron Ayers seems to have the best prices that I could find.

I can also get pretty good deals at my local dealership (usually 20% over their cost) Sean Morley also has some pretty good deals with different gasket companies as well. I got my Cometic head gaskets throug him.

Are you doing anything special to your engine or just a rebuild?

just a rebuild, everywhere i looked i could only find it one part number at a time instead a whole kit, ill check out yals suggestions thanks

I have used Athena gasket sets - very complete kit - as for bearings, etc... usually buy oem parts.

OEM for all gaskets and bearings except the head gaskets (which oem are fine but I use Cometic). Also, I change the stock head studs to ARP's which I sell for $120. Allows for 100% more clamping torque to be applied to ensure head gasket sealing.
