I'm dropping in a JDM tyte engine. I'm thinking about getting it from JAPAN2LA so the compression should be good, but I'm concerned about the minor things I could do to prevent future headaches.

With that being said. I was looking at seals, I was wondering if someone could list out what seals should be replaced before the engine is actually in the car. The only one that I cans think of is the tranny seals.

Thanks Guys.

intake manifold gaskets. all vacuum lines.

OMP o rings, LIM o rings (they are on the block). oil filter pedestel o rings, oil cooler crush washers

make sure you keep the same crank pulley on the new engine to keep the timing marks correct.

 

Things I recommend:
Rear main seal
Front main seal
Re-seal the oil pan ( only if it looks suspect)
Thermo pellet
thermostat
Water pump (only if it looks suspect)
Spark plugs
All belts
New oil
Flywheel (resurface if it looks suspect)
Clutch disc (only if looks suspect)
Clucth cover ( resurface if it looks suspect)
pilot bearing
pilot bearing seal

 

Thank you guys.
