I'd like to start a new thread on the components we choose for an engine build

No complete sets anymore?

Is this the same in the USA? Can you still get complete engine gasket sets?

Where are u going to buy gaskets? Auto value or lordco will treat you right.
Victor and fel pro still make full sets.Go into any machine shop and they will get what you need.

That’s a good idea Ron ,but not just components but what they did and how they did it as like the pcv pics added to a flattie,I had an 8ba I was doin while stationed in Ft Hood in 04 ,got it stripped down and found cracks between the two Exh valve seats ,found it was typical for the flats ,turned into an anchor!
