I'm starting to re shell my 4x4 in to a 2wd, so in doing so I'm intending to give the engine a refresh. Needs wrc head gasket and I have a short stud and nut kit for it. Should I change water and oil pump, full gasket set, sensors and belts at the same time? Gona have the head polished and have new big and little end bearings with a crank polish and piston rings.
Thing is I haven't got a clue on what to expect on cost and do I need all the parts changing on what is a good engine that just needs a head gasket.
Any advice welcome lads thanks

 

oil pump, plugs,oil,filter,main bearings,piston rings,leads,cap,rotar,sensors,belt kit
guessing it an arp bolt kit you have ? you running stage 3?
as for cost close to Ł1000

 

No little more than stage 3 now on Grays , ye I was thinking of a grand with the cost at machinist on top at a 1000
Thanks for your advice

 

thing is it could be done cheaper but theres no point as you are doing alot of work so you would not want to let it down , happy to help

 

another thing is at that bhp you could use standard head bolts with a group a gasket , you will be around the 350/380 bhp

 

My mechanic is doing all the work! I will just bring him a box of bits lol

 

Iv already got the short stud and nut kit with a wrc multi layer gasket. Head and block are getting skimmed to take it. Over engineering for the power out put

 

lol thats a good way to go , only reason i am going to use the group a head gasket is the block i have is wire rug , hope all goes well with your build
