Default Whats the best ?

Hi Fellers

I getting read to rebuild my 6.5 and I only plan on doing it once,the right way 1 time
whats the best gasket to use ? head gaskets,oil pump
what about the ring and bearings., I know about the hi flow water pump,I plan on putting slicone hoses It has the dual thermostats, Should have the injectors cleaned or just replace them,also the injector same thing, there is a diesel injector shop down the strret that cleans injectors and pumps,I bought the truck not running so I don't know what else I going to need ,I guess its a good Idea to replace the oil sending unit also
its a 1996 c-3500 6.5 turbo vin F

Thanks Fellers

look at pennslier (probably not spelled right) they have alot of nice parts, depends on how your building. Im no expert but if you have the means id go with a forged crank and all their high end internals, harlandsharp makes roller rockers, theres a few options for quality builds, arp studs and cometic gaskets.
