When doing a rebuild if all the hard parts are good, I usually replace all the springs, and apex seals. Then upgrade to fd corner seal springs, webber 200 jets, and fd oil pressure reg. I check to see if the side seals and corner seals are within spec, and ofcourse clearance everything. Cleaning up the ports is a must also. I have used the high temp engine paint for the rotors in the past with good results.

you usually use those parts eh? when was your last rebuild? HA! anyway, leave the oil jet part out. you don't want to do that. otherwise, all of these rebuild "kits" are just a bunch of stock parts complied by the different companies (maybe exception of apex seals). so basically you are just paying extra for convience. if you have a local dealership, write down all the part numbers before hand that you will need and see if it is cheaper. i have a feeling it would be if you are willing to take the trip and wait for the parts.

So how do I take off the oil lines going to the engine? I got the front loose, but i still does not come out. I have also took out all the ac stuff. weh, that is alot of stuff. I am going to get the braided lines for the oil nozzles from that place too.

They look nice.
