FL FC Turbo rebuild!

With Tax season around the corner ( that's adult Christmas for those that don't know ) I'm stuck on the idead of completely rebuilding my motor instead of replacing a seal here and there so I won't have to worry about anything going wrong once done, so I wanted to know from personal experience who have the best rebuild kits in your own opinion?

I've heard good things about Atkins and their prices are fair but there's always that one place that escapes the eye.

P.S Anyone located in the panhandle of Florida? Pensacola blows lol!

There are about a billion vendors selling their own seals these days, but I don't think any of them even come close to the number of Atkins seals out there. I tend to buy Atkins rebuild kits. But I'd suggest going with the OEM corner seals (the rubber button absorbs chatter) and OEM oil o-rings (the viton rings are a real pain to work with).

Yes, that's me.

The Atkins kits are convenient because they are a full kit instead of having to buy a gasket set, all seals and springs, etc. So it's easier to order than buying all the parts separately from the dealer.
