LS1 rebuild im going to purchase a used stock ls1 from a junkyard and i wanted to know what parts should i replace? im putting in a torquer 2, 220cc PRC 5.3L stage 1.5 CNC ported heads from TSP, LS2 timing chain, ported LS6 oil pump, 7.4'' pushrods, and an underdrive crankshaft pulley. im also looking into putting on the ARP rod bolts and probably going to replace all gaskets in the areas that i will be working on. I will probably use the stock rockers from the engine ill be purchasing if they are in good shape. Is there anything else that i should be replacing?

Check all the main and rod bearings. Might as well, since the engine isn't in a car. +1 on upgrading the rod bolts. If its a pre 2001 engine, i'd put an ls6 intake on it.
