I have a bog standard 1.9 GTI engine and gearbox to overhaul, and was looking for some help with sourcing parts. I'm fairly sure there is nothing major wrong, But I have the engine out to paint the car so will do it for the craic (I used to be a mechanic and miss that kind of thing). I plan to replace all the usual suspects seals, gaskets, shell bearings, piston rings etc.
Should I steer clear of aftermarket parts and try and stick with OEM?
Is there sutch a thing as a rebuild kit containing all of the above, or do the parts have to be bought seperatly?
Finaly where is the best place to be sourcing this kind of stuff, Peugoet? Or are there cheaper alternitives?
