I've got a new German Sachs clutch disc still in the box for $45.00+ shipping.I might have the T/O also.Gotta check.Paul www.jbbugs.com

Did you find anything Vdub?

I need to place my order with CBP.

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've got the clutch disc,but no T/O bearing.Paul

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.
