Default Rebuilding LS1...

hey guys im going to be rebuilding my first LS1 soon and was wondering if there is a rebuild kit available somewhere? i really just need the gaskets.

im probably going to throw in a 224 cam of some sort, what springs will i need to use with this cam? this WILL be a daily driver for the most part.

thanks guys!

There are gasket kits available, but no full rebuild kit as far as I know. Like they said, SDPC should have what you need.

questions. why are you rebuilding it? if it runs fine and has under 250,000 miles on it you shouldnt touch it.

when you rebuild it, you really only need the oil pan and all the cover gaskets, mls gaskets and thats pretty much it. i ended up spending 140 on all my gaskets, which is a lot cheaper than the gasket kits you get elsewhere.
