You didn't mention heads...rebuilt (valves, guides, seats)? cc'd?

Tools for checking endplay and deck height? Barrel spacers (if you'll need them)?

Got Permatex 3H?

I would highly recommend a dynamic balancing also. Got mine done at a race shop for $100. Flywheel,crank with gears installed, rods, pistons pins & clips, fan.

In my gasket kit there wasn't one for the oil breather.

Oh yeah, get a case of Castrol HD30W oil.

I am rebuilding a *longblock* purchased last summer from a local that,
at least, had the heads done(NO bottom end work at all...) because the
bottom end rattles like ball bearings in a coffee can....so heads are cool.
I only have 18-20K miles on his *rebuild*, so I'm using the *new*
pistons/pins/clips too. Still looking for economical, rebuilt type IV rods.
Mine has been pronouonced *good* by the local shop, but I haven't
tested the pin fit yet. All that will come when it's time to start the
build/mockups.

Got the tools, haven't mocked up anything yet, so there will
be *one more order*.... HAHAHAHAHA! for things like that.

NAPA quoted me $120, so after I statically balance everything, I will
carry it to them. Gotta get SOME use out of those triple beams
nowadays...

I check that, thanks!

Gonna break her in with high zinc oil for diesels, but going to use Castrol
30W until about 5000 miles....then go to 10-30.

Thanks guys and yes, I need the disk, but the TO bearing only has 18-20K,
so I can use it if I can't come up with another. Email me your price and particulars,
MO, paypal, whatever payment you need and I'll get it on the way.
