How much did all of that cost you? Minus the bushings; I already have them sitting in my trunk waiting to go in.
clutch/flywheel kit - $275
timing chains - $150
valve cover gasket - like $20
Re: (MasterAres)

Since you're in there all ready you should add the water pump, crack pipe, thermostat and housing too, but that's my opinion. Good luck with the poly bushings, be ready to have them squeak a bit until they're broken in a bit...

the poly bushing came with some kind of lubricant, maybe that quiets them down?

I like how you took off your wings west lip and put the VR lip on
Re: Just some goodies (MasterAres)

Is that one of those mystery ebay clutches? If so, try to look around on the pp and see what company it's a rebadge of. Let us know how it works out.
i realized what i was doing with that wings west lip was wrong.. for sale btw if ya want it for $100!
yes. it is one of those EBAY clutch kits.. once i have it installed and broken in, i will make a post about it and let everyone know if it was worth it. whats the pp?
Re: (MasterAres)

Pressure plate, sorry for the indescript abbrv.

mine squeaked for a while.. few weeks..
get yourself a spraycan of silicon lube and spray them down like every day until they stop squeaking.. worked for me

Stock worked well for me, I even did a DIY on installing them...
