Junglie Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Hi all, Looking at this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/401408469485 for a light rebuild on my V8 before I put it in. Probably (hopefully) won't need the big bits but will need the gaskets for sure. Any suggestions for a better option r does this look OK? As you may have guessed, I genuinely have no idea... Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 There's a lot of stuff in there you won't need -pull it apart and then buy the bits individually, no more costly because you aren't paying for stuff you don't need, and you get to choose the quality as well.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallfry Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 That kit strikes me as being very expensive, unless its all genuine LR, which I am sure it isnt. I am sure you will need other things anyway, once you have it apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreePointFive Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 I would still use Turners without hesistation for bits for future rebuilds, and you can select the individual parts. I am sure some of it would make that kit look cheap, but I trust their judgement on what parts they are willing to stock for the money they charge.

FridgeFreezer Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 As others say - lot of stuff in there you won't need, and some stuff you'd maybe want to add or get the better quality versions of. I'd add / switch; Stump puller cam instead of stock, very little extra money and it's a cheap torque boost ARP head studs, soooo much nicer to your block, and leave the outer ones out or hardly torqued like the later heads. I'd fit studs to the exhaust manifold ports plus brass nuts, again it's just kinder to the heads and makes future removal much easier genuine Elring head gaskets, I'd be deeply suspicious of any that aren't explicitly listed as such. Duplex timing chain with steel gear, again very low additional cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
