Been looking around I'm still a bit of a noobie with rebuilding an engine when my dad has dont this before. I NEVER knew how expensive hoses and gaskets really are. We already have all the main seals done, felpro head gasket with arp head studs and all. I'm wondering what gasket sets you reccomend? We already have intake/exhaust gaskets. I've seen one at summit racing for 200$ with everything, a cometic set without head gasket on amazon for 120$. And the DM one for 125 shipped. We ordered parts in at a dealer not even all of them just some coolant lines and random turbo gaskets and they were asking 350...
Also hoses, I'm looking at a ebay silicon hose set for 150$ and just get like 10ft of hose for vacuum lines? Most my hoses are alright but I wouldn't mind the engine dress up either.
Anyways would love advice on what you guys have had success with thank you!
Also random question, is a part out of a 7mge really worth much anything? I'm mostly using it for bolts/nuts I lost on the 7mgte..
