    Engine Rebuild

    Since that my Legnum decide to do the head gasket, I'm going to rebuild the engine

    Who is the best place to see about getting parts from to do rebuild?

    Bill @ Ralliart?

    Also is there a thread or something with list of parts needed to do rebuild of the 6A13TT engines?

    Bill @ ralliart is best for parts.

    are you going to replace rings and bearings or just do all the gaskets and seals?

    Want to replace the bearing and rings, Pretty much want to replace everything inside engine that your meant to do when you rebuild.

    Never had a engine rebuild before so this is all new to me what you need to do and need done.

    Hope you have a good budget as a complete engine rebuild wont be cheap.

    Or I might get them from you. My rocker covers are leaking oil and the spark plug seals are brittle and some are leaking too.
