Ok, so i plan on shipping my engine out this winter to Benson so he can work his magic on it.. (bore/sleeve.)

and last night, i noticed a tick in my engine (valve i think?)

So i'm bassssically just going to be overhauling my entire engine, any moving part? Replacing it... good to go.

here's the list i've built thus far, if you could name any other shit that I haven't remembered to put on the list that I should need, please lemme know, and perhaps suggest a brand!
Thanks!

AEM Cam Gears
AEM Pulley Kit
Greddy Extreme Timing Belt
Skunk2 Valve Set (std comp? can someone elaborate on std/high cmp?)
Skunk2 Valve Springs
Skunk2 Titanium Retainers
NGK Iridium Spark Plugs
MSD 8.5mm Plug Wires
Head Gasket (Suggest a brand/make? What about the bore?)

also, the benson bore package i'm going w/ equals:
Bore
Sleeve
Pistons
Rods
Water Pump
Fuel Pump

I know I still need to look into a new alternator and distributor cap... should I just go OEM with those?

Constructive criticism is always welcome, just don't be a douche about it! :kiss:

alrihgt though, my shift's over, i'll check back when i get home and hopefully have some input from you all! Thanks as always!
