What Log Book????
Since I'm waiting on the block & heads to come in, I was wondering what I will need to have on hand for the rebuild. Can gaskets be re-used or is there a complete set available for a rebuild? Who makes high quality gaskets? I'm talking abaout stuff like the HPOP gasket, oil cooler, blah blah blah.
Also, would you guys think it would be ok to reuse the old oil cooler? Only reason I ask is there was a significant amount of metal in the pan & I don't know if any was sucked in through the pick up pipe & made it that far. Can that be checked or drained/cleaned?
Would it be wise to replace the water pump now since I don't know how long it's been on? No cooling issues prior to meltdown, just don't want to do this again. How about rocker arms & push rods? When I pulled them out I didn't keep track of what was where except for the arm with the bent rod. Replace them all or use what looks OK?
So far I found that I need:
* One maybe both up pipes that run from the exhaust manifolds to turbo.
* A/C Condenser (stupid mistake on my part)
* Turbo o-ring set
* Gaskets & some misc bolts.
What else?
