i recently acquired the truck at a pretty good price and the engine needs to be rebuilt. its a 93 b2200 carbureted 5spd with weber and pacesetter. I'm no stranger to mechanics or building engines but my question is

has anyone used the ITM full gasket set?

i cannot find a list of what this set comes with.

thanks in advance

Most of us here recommend FelPro gasket kit.

That's what I used on my B2200 three years ago. Make sure to replace the little coolant bypass hoses while you're in there.

I have a link with photos of my rebuild at the bottom of the post.

ITM is just what comes with the kit.

Is it posible to bypass any of the coolant tubes on these engines and just have the rad hoses and heater hoses?

That is a good write up Cusser but why gamble with not replacing the mains? i work in a engine shop that does machine and assembly on anything with an engine to full all out race engines and have learned not to skip a step in rebuilding even if they look "good".

I took that risk because the crankshaft journals and connecting rod bearings looked so good, and this way I didn't have to pull the engine. I don't have engine picker, engine stand, garage space, etc. And I had owned the truck 17 years by that point.

I had toured an engine rebuilding site in California, but wondered about any warranty issues (like I wouldn't be pulling the engine and sending back for a thermostat cover leak !!!), how they would really be handled. I got two local quotes, one was $2300 just to rebuild the engine, not R&R.

Yea I guess that's a perk of being part of the shop I have conections with. Althought I'm not full time in the shop, machining is free because I do it. Have not checked shop price on parts yet tho.
