Here's my list: (They're for a 5S-FE)

Bearings:
1. ACL Race 3S-GTE Main Bearings
2. ACL Race 3S-GTE Rod Bearings (using 3S Stock Rods)
3. King Bearings 5S-FE thrust washer (not sure if 3S-GTE one will fit)

Pistons/Rods:
1. CP 8.5:1 Pistons 87.5mm [+.020"] (trying to find a 9.0:1 set, if not I'll have to deck the head to bump up the compression)
2. Included Ring set and pins from CP
3. OEM 3S-GTE rods with ARP 22R/3S-GTE Rod bolts

Gaskets/Seals/Head Stuff:
1. OEM 98+ MLS Headgasket
2. OEM 98+ Oil Pump (will most likely shim it 1.5mm)
3. Will reuse brand new water pump
4. Gen 2 3S-GTE ATS Thermostat (170 deg)
5. ARP Head Studs (www.raceeng.com seems to sell a set specific for the 5S. I was told the 3S set would fit but the two studs below the internal cam drive gears had to be ground down to clear the gears)

What else am I missing? Which seals, etc.?

86.5mm is .020, 87.5 is too big.
