i have a head gasket for a 2.2 ill sell cheap!

 

i'm gonna get a cometic one...

 

I used flex hone when i did mine. that worked pretty well and i got a nice cross hatch from it.

 

got a link for the specific one you used?

 

I don't have a part number. i went to my local napa and they gave me the number for who they get their parts from and i told them what i needed and had it shipped to me.

 

subed also.. as ill wanna build mine.

 

right on. do you remember the price range of it by chance? i'm trying to buy all of the things i'll need that are <$100 until i get back from a 3 week training that will give me about 2.5k to work with

 

I wanna say it was around 50 bucks. I probably have it still laying around if you're interested. I only used it on my car so 4 cylinders.

 

its is a cometic haha i had a built 2.2 also

 

interested!

rida2k... is it new then?.. i'd never buy a used head gasket for obvious reasons. pic?

 

ya pm me your number and ill send you a pic of it...and ya its brand new in the package still sealed up!

 

u want that head gasket?

 

I have to see what my funds look like after bills are all mailed. I may want it from you.

 

alrighty... so my engine blew lol. got a loan, already bought some parts. would like someone to chime in as far as if i need anything else to do this. plan on taking apart the whole block and i'll also note what i will do as far as that...

parts bought:
wiseco pistons 10.0:1 compression
eagle rods
arp head studs
exedy stage 2 clutch
exedy lightweight flywheel
new slave cylinder
cometic head gasket
all girdle bolts
rear main seal

parts i will buy as soon as crank is reblanced/machined
main bearings
rod bearings

is that EVERYTHING i will need to do an engine build other than the cleaning on the head?

 

New timing set

 

i'm being pulled a couple different ways on that... i'm told don't need timing set and now i'm told i do... >< anything besides that though?

 

I mean for the couple bucks it cost I'd buy it...timing chains do stretch and I don't think you would like your valves dropping on your nice new pistons

 

is there a gasket set that i need to buy for this rebuild? on top of what i have, i plan for...

intake manifold gasket
exhaust manifold gasket
valve cover gasket
supercharger gasket

there's not any sort of gasket for the tranny or oil pan is there?

 

nope. oil pan is just rtv silicone...

 

same with tranny right? are there any other internal gaskets or bolts that i need to buy?

 

there's no gasket between the engine and tranny. I think you need new rear main seal and timing cover gasket?

 

got the main seal. timing cover gasket is something i planned on also

 

Buy a gasket set from GM itll include pretty much every gasket that you need. Do those rods use oversized wrist pins? New woodruff key for the crank is necessary. New water pump, oil pump, etc.

l8r,
PD

 

see.. i don't want to buy a new GM gasket set because my car is not stock.... cometic head gasket and i'm supercharged so i need the SS/SC intake manifold gasket along with an upgraded exhaust manifold gasket because i've had other issues with that crap... not sure if they are or not, bought in a combo with eagle rods and the wiseco pistons. they DID come with the pins (i think?) what's the key for the crank? oil and water pump are absolutely necessary?

 

rods and pistons come with the wrist pins you need. and the piston rings. I didn't replace the water pump or oil pump. you could get an electric oil pump if you want to go that route.
