Hey guys I am going to be putting a new long block in my 94 pickup. I wanted to know if there is some parts that you guys think should be replaced with a new motor.
This motor comes with new knock sensor and pigtail. Oil pump and timing belt , water pump. I am going to replace spark plugs/wire cap /rotor, fuel filter, injectors, radiator
This truck is an auto, does it need new flex plate bolts? Also thinking of coolant temp sensor and thermostat if it doesnt come with one. Any input helps thanks

 

i'd likely just replace what can't be easily replaced later. most things are easy to test like the coolant sensors, and many of the electronics are not cheap, anyway. otherwise, things like pcv valve, thermo, vacuum hoses, coolant hoses, gaskets, etc....go to town

did the new timing belt come with new pulleys?

i don't see why it would need new flex plate bolts unless they're rusty or damaged

 

Yes it has new pulleys. Thanks for the reply

 

Fuel pressure damper on the passenger side fuel rail.

 

Well i got the engine delivered yesterday and i looks like the shipper ran into the front with a forklift. So its going back to the builder to have them go throughout it.
I guess it will give me a couple more weeks to get parts ready
