Default My Cossie rebuild bits. Question.

Is it worth building up a collection of bits like oil pump/gaskets and stuff. Or should I leave this for which ever builder I choose to use.

I guess if I buy the bids from else where they will not be able to guarentee there work. But am interested to see what you think.

as nobody else has bothered, i'll attempt to answer for you...

if i were to build your engine, i would use bearings from GGR, a new cosworth oil pump (if needed), Cometic gaskets from derek as he's local (and if thats what you'd want, otherwise it'd be payen and ford), ARP bolts on the ends and new ford main bolts (once again, it'd all be discussed first).

it's hard for me to answer this for an engine thats not mine, or to my spec, but basically i'd go for the best parts available in my price range

its worth thinking about long studs while the block is out too
