Default What gaskets are needed?

Hi everyone,

I'm getting ready to put my motor back together and I'm curious as to what gaskets I need?

The only gaskets I can think of are the oil pan gasket, head gaskets(have those already), water pump gasket, and exhaust mani/header gaskets(already have). What else am I missing here? Any help would be much appreciated!

I would definitely replace rear main seal and rear cover gasket. It's a huge pain if they leak after it's back in the car.

I have a FAST 90/90, so would my coolant tubes have been changed over when it was installed?

You should have a tube crossing over in the front and one crossing over in the back (or blocked off on each head in the back). If you have a set of interconnecting tubes that look like a stick figure then those are the stock coolant tubes. Those would need to be switched over to the typical block off's in the back and one crossover in the front.
