- ARP L19 headstuds
- Cometic MLS headgasket
- New OEM Nissan gasket set
- New rod bearings (do I have to check the numbers on the crank?)


The goal would be to be able to run 13-17 psi without having to be afraid of bending a rod or snapping a piston ring.

Any feedback on the parts list?

Definitely go for 11:1 compression pistons, but I honestly wouldn't bother with a build unless you have a competent shop nearby that has done these engines in the past, otherwise you will probably be without a car for a while.
