Re: What Gaskets am I'm goin have to get?

If you just buy a complete headset for it, it'll come with everything you need, and most i've bought even come with new valve guides, that's if you really want to do the job right.

Re: F/S BP long block, and complete B6

like i said the engine has about 140K miles on it, its not going to have full compression like a new engine would. That's also why it's cheap. And i'm negotiable on the prices too, make me an offer.
