   I am currently rebuilding a 16v and wondered where you guys buy your gaskets from? Need a sump gasket, head gasket, whatever is was between the head and the aluminium cam ladder covers, oil seals for the inlet and outlet cams and exhaust manifold. Didn't have an inlet gasket unless you count the rubber ring that is there?
   
   Have I missed any? Also the internal bearings were going to be changed

   Oh okay, have just read that you need instant gasket for rocker covers, what about where the cam ladders fit to the head? Can't find gaskets for these

   Never had a problem with payne gaskets.
   For the headgasket make sure you get the later type mls (multi layer steel) one

   when i had to re seal the one on my 306 s16 i used a loctitie one
   it was like a metalic grey color, dried black and it never leaked in the three years i had the car afterwards
   
   got ot from halfrauds but any loctite sealant place should do it

    Head gasket & bolts £75 inc vat
    The sealant for the sump etc is £27 inc vat
    Exhaust manifold gasket is £5 inc vat
    The 4 seals for inlet manifold £10 inc vat
    
    
    Other parts you need depends how far you want to go with the rebuild tbh
    
    Bearings, timing belt kit, water pump, valves, valve stem oil seals, crank oil seals, camshaft oil seals
