For those of you that have done it, who did you buy your kit from? LC engineering budget master rebuild seems to be the best bang for your buck at $300 for what appears to be everything. Truck has 214k on it and doesn’t appear to have ever been rebuilt. I’ve already put a bunch of new parts on so I might as well keep going and make it a new truck. Also for those that have done it yourself, roughly how long did it take you? My dad and I are probably going to do it ourselves. Any tips and tricks would be greatly appreciated as well. Here’s a link to the kit I mentioned:

You can put together a set of rebuild parts that contains many more Japanese and other high quality parts than this kit for similar money, or even slightly less money; if you shop around.

Depends on what you want, and how much time you've got.

Many Taiwanese manufactured parts I have seen, i would judge to be better quality than chi-com slave labor goods, but my first choice would still be Japanese.

You can`t be buying parts till The Engine is out all inspected and measured .

Does the block need bored ?? Some Machine Shops can get somewhat cranky if you show up with your new engine parts something to think about .

Some Machine Shops can be swamped a 2 week or longer turn around time or 2 days you never know.

Rebuild the head or New Head with all new parts .?

Going with a Cam and Oversize Valves or keeping things stock ??

New Crank or having yours turned ??

So many things enter into the time it can take
