yeah but what brands are good brands. lol. so i can stay away from the "wal-mart" brand kits.

I don't know if Napa offers gaskets in the "GoldLine" Seris but if they do all it is is re-boxed OE parts, Fel-Pro is good as well most of all there gaskets are made in Japan as well.
I wouldn't put the dealer out of the pic either I buy all my gaskest and such from the dealer and most of the time it is cheaper(for me anyway )

Some of the guys I know switch to the single row cause it is less rotating mass so it will rev up a little quicker
That said I was think about getting it just for the pimp factory

lol yeah i'll bet you work for toyota. i go in there enough to get parts for my truck, they should give me frequent flyer miles or something. yeah im gonna call them tomorrow and see if they have a kit or something. that would take forever to search each individual part and price ya know.

manufactured by Clevite(a Dana subsidiary(sp)) good stuff victro seal metal gaskets are good. if you go to napa, ask for "Green sheet price", "N" price code. and if you want to fuck with em, ask em to run it a "Z" price
and yota would be good. you dont have to work there to get a discount either. i get a killer discount. like 10% over cost. just get to be good friends with a parts counter dude or a local shop that gets discount and do cash ticket thru that shops name.

I don't work for Toyota not yet any way(Pissed at the shop I'm at now may move)I sometimes get parts at the local dealer which I pay 20% off cost from them and I can get it even cheaper at AutoWay my friend works there.

THATS TIGHT. SO GOING TO A ADVANCED AUTO PARTS OR SOMEWHERE ALONG THOSE LINES, THEY COULD GET ME THE BEST AFTERMARKET PARTS...IF THE PRICE IS RIGHT ILL USE DEALER PARTS.

OTHER THAN THE TYPICAL REBUILD KIT, IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD REPLACE INTERNALLY SINCE THE MOTOR WILL BE OPENED UP. ALSO, SINCE I HAVE TO PULL THE TRANS OUT I WOULD PROBABLY REPLACE THE CLUTCH...WHAT ABOUT THE FLYWHEEL. I HEAR LIGHTER FLYWHEELS MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN PERFORMANCE. IS THIS TRUE? IS THERE A DOWNSIDE TO PUTTING A LIGHTER FLYWHEEL IN?

I would go ahead and do the freeze plugs thrust washers, You will pretty much have a new motor then.
I depends on how light you are going to go. A lighter flywheel will rev quicker but it will also lose the revs quicker and you will lose some rear wheel torque cause you have as much inertia.
But they are badass I had one in my Nissan before I sold it and it would rev quicker and would launch quicker
Be sure to replace the pilot bearing when you do the clutch and check your slave cyinder. Pull the boot back to check they are like wheel cylinders they may look good but when you pull the boot back it's another story
