i will be tearing into my 6 liter in the following couple of days just to check everything out before install. it may need one piston so i will be going down as far as the rotating assembly. i was wondering what gaskets could be reused (if there is no apparent damage of course) and which ones are a mandatory replacemment. anyone with usefull info is appreciated. fyi this will be a stock 6.0 in my '89 reg cab step side.

The only gaskets i've ever replaced is the head gaskets and i've built several.

It is pretty cheap to buy a complete gasket set then to have to tear down again to replace a bad gasket.

head gaskets here too. but be care full with the rear main seal. mine bent a little and leaked like a ****. had to replace it the next day after the install.

Head gasket and rear main seal. All others are designed to be reused unless there is obvious damage to one.

with everything i have replaced i have used new gaskets whether it was needed or not. its just something i do. there not that expensive and i look at it as just insurance. some people will say its over kill but thats just my $.02

how much have you paid for a full rebuild kit?
