Re: First rebuild ever, questions
What tools do you have? A full rebuild will need more then the basic socket set. Factor that into your costs. Buying tools as you discover you need them is a good way to stock your shop. You just need to be prepared for the extra dollars needed.
If by bad gaskets you are referring to the valve covers leaking, they do that after a few years even if the engine internals are in great shape. Replacing valve cover gaskets does make for a good first project. And you can see how much or little goo is inside. And it lets you check the head casting numbers as well.
What does the SPID in the glovebox list for motor? No guarantee that is what is in it now but at least you will know what it started with.
