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.? -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold

i have never had an issue with wiseco pistons, all my big HP engines have them. slap is caused by improper cylinder wall clearance.
