slant six rebuild parts source??

Look at the thread comments on increasing compression and mild valve work.....

Water pumps can be bought at any parts store.

Be careful with engine kits; easy for shopping but you need to know what comes in them ADN what you really need, or you will waste tons of $$. Go find the machinist who you will work with on this before any such purchase. See if he can get the EngineTech kits; I think they allow you delete some parts so you can get better ones separately. The main contents of their kits are good for a basic /6, not excessive power.

I can't see what is in the Kanter kits. At that price, it is a terrible buy IMO; it is way too much in cost for what is in there, and for what you will need; their deluxe kit is more than I spent total including machine work! For examples: You rarely need new pushrods or rockers for the /6; any good machinist will sort out any worn valves and just put new ones in where needed; you can re-use keepers; don't buy lifters without the cam; and the oil pump kit may or may not fit your pump....there are 3 depths of pump rotors for various /6 pumps. This kit looks like a very bad buy.

You would be better off getting a rebuilt oil pump from Doug Dutra (Doctor Dodge over on www.slantsix.org); he will take care of any gear issues.
