Gasket set
Ive been looking around for a complete gasket set for an 87 6.9. Hopefully I will be picking up the replacement engine on Monday. Probably wont get it into the truck for a couple of months as I try to take time to do some refurbishments on it. My plan is to change out the oil seals and all gaskets except the head gaskets. Ill probably change the vacuum and fuel pump too. I also plan to start off with a full synthetic oil.
Any good links for gaskets? Particularly the rockers. Should I buy a set or is it better to buy individually?

You guys are right. I think I may go ahead and do the heads too.................. Its gonna be a lot easier to do them on an engine stand.
I cant afford ARP studs but I wont be running a turbo anyway. Should I go for new head bolts or re-use what I have?
Thanks for the useful links
