I think I am going to go ahead and order my parts with the plan of following the old manual with a cross-hatch. As a related question, anything you guys think I am missing given the engine is fully apart? Or anything I probably don't need to save some money? Priced out at AB but would be interested in other sources if anyone has recommendations. Total with shipping comes to $1,682.

- Main bearings, rod bearings (STD)
- Oil pump w/ gasket
- Piston rings
- Cam + lifters + new cam bearings
- Timing chain set w/ gaskets
- Front and rear main seals
- ARB main bearing stud kit
- Rear cam engine plug
- Block freeze plugss
- Main bearing side bolt seals
- Head gasket kit w/ bolts from AB (includes all top end gaskets I think). Likely have some gasket duplication in my list but playing it safe than sorry unless someone confirms.
- New thermostat and gasket

AB has the absolute highest prices of any LR vendor. Everything on your list is available from Rovahfarm.com and also through Lucky8. ARP studs are absolutely not necessary unless your adding induction and that's as available and useful as a three eyed chimp.

Have read this is useless to replace unless you know for sure it's broken
- Piston rings
Yes
- Cam + lifters + new cam bearings
Same as oil pump (except bearings) if you still want to replace, aftermarket Crower Cams are cheaper than stock IIRC.
- Timing chain set w/ gaskets
Yes, I did
- Front and rear main seals
Yes
- ARB main bearing stud kit
Not needed
- Rear cam engine plug
Yes
- Block freeze plugss
Probably not needed, but cheap so I did mine as well
- Main bearing side bolt seals
Comes with head gasket kit
- Head gasket kit w/ bolts from AB
Obviously yes. Lol
- New thermostat and gasket
Yes, but gasket comes with kit as well.
Hope that helps. My advice, pay good money for a good machinist. Have the heads and block cleaned, inspected, and squared. Triple check bore measurements. Balance the flywheel if needed. And research torque specs. There is a bit of discussion on correct torque spec and whether the manual is accurate and tight enough...

These engines are internally balanced and flywheel is damped. Balancing the flywheel would be only balancing the flywheel...... Just noting eh.

Thanks guys. That's exactly what I was looking for - recommendations of better or cheaper part sources. Have my block and crank with my machinist now. Will post prices from the other sources here for comparison

Do I need to replace connecting rod bolts? I knew you did for main bolts but the overhaul manual doesn't say to discard the rod bolts... But they show on RovahFarm as "Do not reuse"

Also what is the difference between a "floppy" and a "stiff" chain in terms of application. They are both listed on Rovahfarm and both show as applicable to a D1.

Where do ERR3330 and ERR3331 go? And how many do I need of each?

Front and rear oil seal recommendation: All-makes vs Carteco?

Can't seem to find main bolts on RovahFarm... Does anyone know a P/N? Checked to AB for a P/N but they only sell ARB as far as I can tell.
