    Flatlander Racing,

    I am interested in purchasing an Engine Rebuild kit that you offer according to your website. The part number is 1182 for a 91-95 3.4L DOHC Chevy 207 Engine (Vin X). I was curious if you have a list (or even a picture) of parts that come with a Re-Ring kit for this engine. Specifically which gaskets or if all gaskets are included in the kit. Thank you!

    Does sound a little vague... Sounds like the "change", is them buying the cheapest parts, and selling at the same price=More profit. Go with an industry standard. May pay more, but it pays you in the long run. And they have bad typing skills.

      Yeah its just scarry that I asked about 'what parts' and they answered about brands.

      Who would you recommend? I think if i got a kit it would be cheapest, but getting everything separate isnt crazy either.

        I hate kits. My personal preference for aftermarket would be ..Perfect Circle rings, Federal Mogul bearings and Fel-Pro gaskets. But that's just me.

          Id say the same, though total seal rings as another good option.
