Default 1998 LS-1 Engine Parts

I have a 1998 C5 with an LS-1 motor and I,m looking for the best and most honest place to order parts online. Any and all suggestion will be appreciated. Also is it true you have to install new head bolts after removal of the heads. I< kooking mainly for lifters, gaskets, pushrods and whatever else I might need to complete this job.

yes, new bolts every time period, unless you get ARP head studs. I would recommend if you believe you will be in there a few times.

just do a search, I know scoggindicky (ramond) parts guy.

I have a set of 200 mile 7.4 manley push rods. shoot me a PM.

as for Head gaskets, MLS

Lifters, Id use Johnson Lifters (bought LS7 collapse in 250 miles)

what else are you planning on doing?

First what parts are you looking for and why? (It helps)

Yes!You need new head bolts! You CANNOT re-use head bolts!

Head studs yes, Bolts NO!

Gene Culley @ GMPartshouse (forum vendor) can pretty much get all you need and at a discount!

Thanks,Matt
