Buying a dismantled block and head - what contents are critical?

[mr.utility at highstream.net (mr.utility@highstream.net)]

I am almost positive that they used to, but I do not know about now...  They 
were much more in the market for tuners some years ago, but I think they have 
had some trouble since, and they do not sell all of the 'go-fast internals' 
they used to...  The 'trouble' appears to have been too many idiots who 
thought they knew what they were doing, and when they discovered they did not, 
TT got the blame...
