What exactly are you looking for? Gaskets? Bearings? Pistons and rods? Are we talking just the block or the block and head? You won't find much in the way of "rebuild kits" but if you lets us know what components you are looking for we can point you in the right direction.

I would recommend the ACL Aluglide bearings. They are designed for OEM builds and are very, very affordable, a fraction of the cost of the OEM bearings. If you were building a performance engine then I would recommend ACL's Race series (they are about twice the price of the Algulide's though). Here is a quote from ACL's website: Aluglide rod and main bearings were developed for OEM engines and have the inherent physical properties perfectly suited for replacement applications. You can get the main and rod bearings together for $49.99 (awesome price by the way) from MAP: ACL Aluglide Series Main and Rod Bearings (DSM / Evo) - Modern Automotive Performance.

This is from ACL's performance website and shows a comparison between the Aluglide and Race bearings.

As far as gaskets the OEM Mitsubishi kit is great and contains just about everything, but it's not very affordable at $250 Mitsubishi OEM Engine Gasket Kit (6 Bolt Turbo DSM) : JNZ Tuning. You can get the Cometic engine gasket kit for $110 Cometic Complete Engine Gasket Set (DSM) - Modern Automotive Performance. You can also get the Topline complete kit for about the same price or you can get just the lower half (block) for about $70. I don't have a link right now but you can find them all over ebay.

Also you will probably be in the market for a head gasket. The OEM Mitsubishi composite head gasket is what I recommend for just about everyone (and I'm using it too!). It performs and seals great and is very affordable at $54 Mitsubishi OEM Organic Head Gasket (DSM) - Modern Automotive Performance

Hope this helps!
