Hello, im going to be rebuilding the engine in my 98 GS-T and was looking around or what kits to buy, im going to be replacing pretty much every thing, but looking online everyone seems to be pretty torn on the quality of the engine rebuild kits available on ebay, but after reading through most of it I was just planning on using the minor stuff and misc gaskets, so I probably wont be using the headgasket or the timing belt from the kit I was looking at. http://www.ebay.com/itm/260694447316?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Has anyone ever used this kit before from this dealer?
also can someone recommend me a good brand of timing belt to use, I was looking at the OEM Mitsubishi one on STM, I also was looking at gates, im trying to find something that was cheap but of a decent quality? along with that what brand of head gaskets are good? I hear that Cometic HGs are the way to go, but that's a bit pricey for me, along with those things, i was thinking of getting a balance shaft eliminator kit, originally i didn't want to but now that i think about it i do want it, i was looking at the kit from the same seller on ebay that is selling the kit im looking at buying-http://www.ebay.com/itm/221331446417?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 has anyone here tried this? my main concern is whether or not they are reliable or should i just spend the extra money and get the one from somewhere else
my motor is pretty stock, and I plan to keep it stock for a little while longer, so not really looking for any super fancy race quality stuff.
