What is a WET RBO?

Wits' End
One more for today. I’ve been getting a LOT of requests for headgasket kits because of the turbo coming out. Had a kit put together that put everything needed together. So it’s the typical valve grind kit and headgasket but it’s also the exhaust hardware and oil cooler gaskets.
Initially I was trying to put together a kit with ARP studs and Cometic gasket BUT not only did ARP not want to make Wits’ End a dealer but they are out of stock on the correct bolts. Summit has a few kits left.
As to Cometic, unfortunately the thickness of the gasket all depends on the amount of decking on the block and surfacing on the head. So I figured I’d just offer up the standard head gasket kit.

Which pistons are you going with? Are you going straight for +1?

I have not decided yet. Plan to pick up the parts truck this weekend and start pulling the drivetrain. Engine going to Bill Lee for the rebuild.

They are the parts you get when you let Siri autocorrect your posts without proof reading them.

A big chunk of the oil supply hoses are done. The oil drain hoses will be done early next week.

That monitor can be tricky to reset...but I'm sure you know that. Good luck!!
