Is a VR gasket set good practice on these motors?

As far as the non precision gaskets. There isnt a problem. Its the head gaskets that you gotta stay away from. Thats why i got the full VR kit and the erling HG

Buddy stopped at shop today to drop off an 95 m3 rack for me to put in since motor has to be pulled. Then we proceeded to fuck with things and were left with this.

Motor is stripped of its acc and on a stand. I was gonna disassemble bottom end but ran into a couple issues. First i left my stamps at the house to mark the mains etc. Then the jesus nut(crank nut) decided it wasn't going anywhere. So i went home and regrouping for the next assault on the crank lmao.

Finished up on the motor. Gonna take it to machine shop tomorrow or Thursday.

Sorry to hear the bad new's man, but on the up side of things at least when all this is done you've basically touched and repaired everything on the car so it should be a reliable car for many more years to come.

Thats the same way I'm thinking about it haha. Now I can drive it cross country and not have to worry about a thing.

I would say you make fast work of building an engine:). Wish I had a place to clean engine parts like you do:)
Looking forward to the next part of putting the engine back together.
