Having done a spot of research i am currently trying to decide the correct corse of action. I have just received a fresh built engine but it needs final assembly. I figure if i'm going to keep this car for a while getting stuck in and learning how to taske it appart and put it back together is a good idea, so start from the ground and work up i guess! :lol:
Anyhoo, i have a short shopping lsit of parts and my usual sources aren't coming up trumps so i have gone further afield but do not want to buy rubbish. Having said that, i'm pretty skint after the initial engine purchance so i don't want to go mad. it is a fresh built stadnard engine with the usual bits uprated. I'm not looknig to go bonkers so standard spec gaskets and head bolts are more than adiquate.
Now asside from gonig to Nissan and being lined up for dissapointment (useless local dealer) can anyone recommend a good source for the following;
Gasket set (full)
Head bolts
I figure that Nissan head blots are probably my only option but what about patern gaskets? Egay produced the following;

Too good to be true? Would it be worth buying that kit, ditching the head gasket and buying a gen nissan one?
Also is shimming a head a nissan only task or can any engineering firm carry it out?
Thanks in advance.
