freshening up my motor, what all do I need? (bolts/gaskets)
I'm replacing my oil pump and timing chain before I drop my motor in my car. Motor is a ls1 out of a 2004 GTO with 90k miles. While it is out, I want to freshen up the motor a little bit. What all do I need or should replace?
This is what i have so far:
- ls6 oil pump
- ls2 timing chain set
- head gaskets
- ARP head bolts
- oil pan gasket
- front main seal
- rear main seal
- intake manifold/TB gaskets
- water pump gaskets
Anything else? Where is a good place with decent prices I can get all of this besides the dealer? Want to use all OEM GM gaskets. Thanks Tech.

Op if your going with a cam then I would get the trunion upgrade,pushrods and good springs. If not I would just a fresh set of lifters, have the valves reseated, and new seals installed, and since the springs probably have some miles on them just get a set of replacement ls6 springs which are around 50 bucks. The arp bolts as I said above need the rods line honed. the stock bolts are fine with a mild cam or stock, but if you really want better rod bolts that are a direct swap katech's are the only way

Thanks, I was going to do a heads and cam which is why I took the heads off, but don't have the funds for it, so I am just going to freshen up the stock motor with new gaskets.
