Morning all as some will know I have been having a liner replaced heads skimmed etc all underway at machinists I will of course need to get new gaskets for the whole engine as it is stripped down to bare block and head so where is best to get them from and is there anything else that I should look at replacing cams lifters etc are all good pistons were in brilliant nick and could still see honing in all cylinders one mystery is the score in no 8 which I put down to a ring breaking but no all rings good so what it was is a mystery
As ever all help accepted

If the ring end made the score would there not be damage /witness mark?
