    Question parts i should renew other then gaskets

    im about to change my head gaskets on my vt v6 ecotec motor because long story short i pulled the motor apart and had to quicky put it back together with the old gaskets still in it just wondering what other parts besides all the gaskets should i replace while my motor is apart. the car has done 220.000 and im doing a full service while i do the head gaskets aswel.

    If the engine is already apart, I would replace all the bearings too. Maybe time for some new piston rings too.
