Noob with some questions

[Gemini.rob]

My engine is out of my v6 VS at the moment so I thought I may as well do some work to it. Where can I get some good cheap roller rockers and a new water pump? And is there anything else I should be doing while the engine is out?
Cheers guys and sorry If this is in the wrong section, I'm new.

Could always try ebay for something cheap. Ella Terra does roller rockers might want to check there as well.

Hey mate,
one of the site sponsors (MACE Engineering) Will do you some high ratio roller rockers at a great price.
As for water pump, you could get one from a parts shop like repco or autopro?

Cheers.

Thanks guys. Anything else I should do to the engine while I've got it out?

I'd probably be rebuilding it with all decent brand stuff, or at least a mild cam.. but only things i could do on the cheap.

Thats just me though..

Do the rear main seal while you have it out. Holden recommend you change the alloy seal housing as well but it's not mandantory to do so.There are 2 water pumps for the VS V6. The early one is cheaper than the later one (your engine # determines the correct pump). Genuine ones have come down in price so shop around on that one first.
