Rebuilding the engine - what parts to use?

[Apolan]

Tnx ivan, i thought so myself, just needed to be sure.

alimonos, when you put thiner headgasket you change camshaft timing.. but i talked to my friend and he said that putting 0.6mm (compared to 1.2 stock) headgasket will not affect timing so much that you would need adjustable cam sprockets. Can somebody verify that?

Still wondering about this:

Quote:Once i have the engine outside (without oil and water in it), i will flick it upside down, put it on the cam-covers, unbolt the oilpan etc.. then disconnect the con-rods. Can i just lay them gently down on the valves or will that damage guides or whatever? The idea is to replace just the bearings without oppening the head or taking it off. Also can i re-use all of the bolts or do i need some new (for the con-rods..)?
