Help:A15 headgasket /pistons rings wanted

[dannybrooks]

Hi guys my 1982 sunny datsun has a blown head gasket
Going to do as much of the work myself so I guess I need replacement head gasket
Piston and rings
Wheres the best place to buy this stuff or does anyone have it for sale?
anything else I should do while the engine is out??

STA parts are a pretty cheap place to get new pistons and/or rings from.
Gaskets can be bought from any number of places. (Repco, BNT, Appco, superchaep auto etc etc)

Well it only took about 90 mins to get all the wiring ,bell housing bolts engine mount ,radiator out ,cables etc free but its still locked onto the exhaust ,Ive moved the engine forward about an inch just trying to free the exhaust somehow?
Its weird because there aint nothing holding it I can see but a little rust
