[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 349907, member: 7544"] I couldn't find any "sets" but it looks like all the gaskets are available individually. Has your friend considered how much it's going to cost to rebuild this motor and whether it's worth it or not? Just for wrist pin, needle bearing, pistons, and rings he's looking at over $200. By the time you add in all the gaskets an other misc items here and there he's probably looking at $325 + in parts alone. Might be a good time to look for a replacement motor. With what he would save by not rebuilding and what he could get from parting out his old motor, he could probably get close to paying for a newer and possibly bigger motor like maybe a 9.9. [/QUOTE]
