So general rebuild parts questions assuming this is going to used for the next 50-75K miles:

Unless there is a better/equal option I assume Volvo head gasket
I have always had luck with the Contitech seals...still a good option
Same on timing belt and whatever idler and tensioner come in the kit
Water pump?
Rear main?
Valve stem seals?
Anaerobic Sealant?
Head bolts?

Likely going to ordering from multiple sources to either get what I want or the price I want so not particular loyalty there.

Edit: And with no timing cover, where do I find the engine serial number to know if I have 6 or 7mm valves?
