Gasket(s) Question

[old96er]

I am going to replace the timing cover, oil pan, and valve cover gaskets on my '96 GTS.

1)Who has the best price on the parts?
2)Anything else I should replace since it will be apart anyhow?
3)About how long should it take, assume average wrenching skills, 2 people.
4)Any special precautions or gotchas specific to this work on a Viper?

4) Be careful cleaning the old gaskets off [don't scratch the aluminum!] and the torque values are VERY important! Get a shop manual.

Can't get any better than that old Tator Wizard!

I still need to run some dye though it to check my hunches, but odds are I will need all those parts. So, you will be hearing from me. I already have the manual, and I'll be careful with the mating surfaces.

THANKS Chuck!
