    Gasket Set for a complete rebuild.

    Is there a gasket set that anyone recommends for a rebuild of an 85 2.2 T1? I'm looking around for the best prices and there are some out there but I want to make sure I can get the one that alot of people use for their rebuilds.

    Also, since I don't quite know what caused this compression problem ( possibly fuel related ) I'm going to replace the injectors, fpr, filter and pump. For the pump I'd like to use the Walbro one listed on the APE site. Is this pump a "drop in" for the stock one or is there some other modifications that are needed?

    Thanks..

    Bottom line.. Use a walbro 255 pump.

    TU sells gasket sets for rebuilds at competitive prices. He can get you any set you want even if it is not listed on his site.

    The walbro is pretty much a drop in... contact me after you get it and I'll fill you in. EASY job. the only thing that doesn't fit 100% is the stock LOCK retainer for the pump... not needed...

    Use new head bolts and have the block drilled to 11mm, and then use a MP head gasket.

    I like to get a Fel Pro gasket set, and then purchase a mopar headgasket to go with it. Its the only way Ive found to get all the gaskets you need for a complete rebuild. One thing I would not suggest doing is buying the mopar gasket set from FWD performance, as it is just a repackaged felpro set except it doesnt come with all the gaskets you need and it has a crappy fel pro headgasket. Im still a little peeved about that one.
