So what is the best engine rebuild kit? I done searches! No good answer the best answer I found was RPM kit with OEM parts but what OEM parts are you guys talking about? Is there a better rebuild kit? Going stock might have to do a slight bore idk yet.

What is the best gaskets to use?

What is the best kit?


Thanks Andrew

All ready done unless youve rebuilt the engine b4 and have all specs wrote down you really just buy a rebuild kit theres different size crank bearing pistion sizes it must to be torn down then rebuit parts can be ordered correctly with a reduild its a weekend job with alot less labor .And a warranty

Shops tend to cost more also how do you know when you buy a "rebuilt" motor it's actually rebuilt.

Do you know of any place you can buy a reman motor?

ATK is a well respected rebuilder.

freegdr is correct. Reman longblock is the way to go for most.
