Hey Guys,

 So my full rebuild project is coming along (I'll be sure to post some pictures soon and progress soon), and I'm in the midst of rebuilding the seized engine I pulled off a 77 750K. Unfortunately, due to what looked like a lot of water in the cylinders, I'm having them bored out right now at 2nd oversize. I guess I have  a few general questions regarding engine rebuilding, and you're the guys to ask:

1. As for a head, since all the seats and valves on mine are shot, what would you recommend? Used off of ebay? (I've seen pretty clean heads on there without valves, any thoughts on a valve set?).

2. What would you replace without question in rebuilding an engine?

3. And lastly, more or less the same as 2, I have not yet pulled apart the bottom case, and thought it might be a good idea to order a few 'necessities' before I do in order to not have it apart too long. What would you replace just because you're opening it up?

 Thanks in advance. You guys rock.
