got an ls1 have questions ok i got an ls1/t56 combo from a local shop. it has less then 60k on it. im going to be putting it in a 92 camaro. now i want to know since im going to be putting a cam in it. should i go ahead and replace the rings and bearings? i already am going to regasket and reseal the engine because of minor sepage from the rear main seal and front crank seal and oil pan, not really a big deal im just im a perfectist in a way.
i also might be looking at nitrous down the road.
what is your opinion?

No need to replace all the gaskets since most are all reusable, unless they are split or cracked. I would look at the bearing surfaces first, I am sure they are fine.
But if you are going to go with N20, yuo might want to go forged and be done with it. This way you can spray till the cows come home and not have to worry about how long the motor will last.

The front & rear engine cover gaskets, and the oil pan gasket are controlled compression, aluminum carrier/silicon seal gaskets. It is not recommended to re-use these gaskets.
