It includes just about everything to rebuild this engine. Except for the connecting rods, or motor mounts. They don't even have the con rods or the mounts available. But they do have the rod bearings. I dont mean to sound cheap or anything, but is there another company that sells an overhaul kit for this engine that has the connecting rods and guides with it? I mean, it sounds like a good idea to replace the rods too, if you are doing the pistons and everything else, right?

I got my re-main kit from them cheaper than Kanter, but had to use Kanter for the timing chain and timing gears. NAPA can usually find what you need but might take a few days. It might be worth your while to call Kanter if you haven't already to see what they can do. When you get you parts check to see if they are the right ones- especially bearings. Read my posting "lesson learned" and you'll read why.  jim | | | | | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 3,458 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 3,458 | I don't know if you can get them cheaply, but it may be a good idea to go with forged rods and pistons on this motor since they are not known for strength under revs, then maybe you can get more power out of it. Get it balanced if you can afford it.

$55.00 a set, they re-rubber your old mounts

There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.
