Hi,
This is my first build I'm doing and just wanted to ask if I have everything needed to assemble the engine (not including oil pump, machine work required and other supporting mods, but just so I can finally torque the head studs back on). Mainly just don't want to make another trip to the store as I'm driving down to the states for the parts.

Wiesco pistons (come with rings and pins)
Eagle rods (come with bearings an ARP bolts)
ARP head studs
Head gasket
Valves
Valve springs and retainers
Valve locks
Valve guides
Valve seals

Thank you!
 
gasket set

timing belt and kit

looks to be all you are missing
 
Also engine assembly lube would be usefull :) And if you removed the oil jets get new washers for them.
 
Thank you do much guys. No worries. Already got brand new timing components, oil pump with the balance delete and all. The ARP's came with lube, so I should be good there. Would I need some rod bearings? Or would I have to get my crank sized? Was surprised to see that the bores where actually in very good condition seeing the mods the last owner did. And don't worry. I won't forget oil or coolant. xD

Thank you again guys.

I would, but then I have to get the crank sized and all. Much easier to just leave it in for now. Last owner didn't do too damage to the internals, so I would assume the crank is okay. I used to be a computer but, so learning how to and building the engine is a lot of fun actually. Minus rusted bolts.

No you won't have to get the crank cut.

You will just plastiguage it when you put it together and make sure that everything is still in spec.

I would replace the bearing while you are in there, no point in skipping that.

+1 It's always a good idea to replace all of the bearings at once. And you won't have to get the crank sized or anything like that, a machine shop will micropolish the crank or (if they need to) cut the crank to size. Then just order the correct undersized bearings and install.
