Parts Lists and Suggestions

[typhoonesq]

Getting my motor back from the shop. I searched for hours and can't find a condensed section or write up on the ancillary parts need to put this thing back together. Did I miss it? I wouldn't doubt it. I need to know the following:

(1) Anyone make a complete gasket set? Part #
(2) Head gaskets - Part #
(3) Oil pump - mildon/melling I found
(3) Motor mounts? Part # (gm?)
(4) Anything else important???

Also looking to do a slightly better cam but nothing that needs a tune. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: Parts Lists and Suggestions

do all the cheap stuff. Filters, plugs, wires cap/rotor, sensors, new vac lines, belt, injector o-rings. And watch when you put it back in the truck, that no wires or hoses are pinched, or in a hi-heat spot. The harness is JUST long enough to reach each sensor.

Gaskets: head gaskets, Intake-block, plenum-intake, throttlebody-plenum, EGR (if you have one), water pump, thermostat. you can get away with copper RTV on the exhaust surfaces (manifolds, turbo, dp).

Check your bearing clearances (main journals, rod journals, crank endplay), check P-to-V, dont torque the heads down until your final assembly (they'll ruin the gaskets if you do). Check the valvetrain travel (on each cylinder) and make sure theres no obstructions. Get a tube of the white gasket paste from Permatex, the head bolts/studs are drilled and tapped into the waterjackets on the block. so use the Permatex on the head bolts and it'll seal the threads and stop coolant from coming into the heads. If your using plastigage to check the bearing clearance, torque each main cap together, then check the journals, cause you can get an inaccurate reading if you check/torque 1 journal at a time.

If you go Melling for the oil pump, read the syty thread about the bad castings, and check the pump when you recieve it. The pump pickup usually wont fit out of the box. Check the clearance between the pan, and the pickup. rotate the crank/rods/pistons and look for binding, or interference on the block.


Do 2 or 3 mockups (dry) and check all the clearances. then do the final assembly with all the loctite, and sealers and everything. Lube everything up good, and break it in before you romp on it.
