Valves and springs should be done while you got it out. Maybe even timing chain.

Also if you buy a vrs gasket kit it will have nearly every gasket to do the motor.

Must do the timing chain tensioner - must!!

 

[needwork2-4fillhabbit]

Most brands have vrs kits, just ask when you go to order a set. I got my vrs acl tace series for 250 i think delivered.

ok thanks pretty much how much am i looking to do all this stuff

 

[needwork2-4fillhabbit]

230 about for gaskets, 30 for timing chain tensioner, Or off ebay you could get all you need for 300.

Also when the timing cover is off - look for corrosion behind the water pump outlet. I've had 3 Vn motors leak from behind this point.
