Welcome, Ramon.

Where're from, mate?

What sort of overhaul are you thinking of doing? If it's a top-end decoke all you need is a head gasket kit (plus maybe some tappet adjuster wedges), if you're going for the full bottom-end gig, thenm it's a full engine gasket set plus main and big-end bearing shells and, maybe, piston rings.

Does your car need all this? These engines will quite happily chug on almost forever...

If in the US, I'd recommend EBS Racing... (ebsracing.com I think)

I second EBSracing.com for a rebuild kit.

Yeah, EBS is the way to go. I couldnt find the complete rebuild kit on their website, so I sent them an email, and they have a complete rebuild kit for about $350

Always talk to them, forget about the website when it comes time to order.
