Transmission Reseal and Engine Pitfalls

Hi All,

just finished sorting out and refreshing the suspension for a 1987 300E auto I bought that was sitting for about 4 years. It runs fine, but there's a pretty massive transmission fluid leak somewhere, and also an oil leak, so I figured I need to yank out the transmission and engine and just do a full reseal, and probably a head and valve job while I'm at it.

I've been reading through old posts and just wondering if anyone knew what parts I should go ahead and get and handle while I'm in there? I was thinking of getting one of the full transmission refresh gasket kits, is that worth it? Also dropping the trans filter and etc.

What about for the engine? Any particular brand of head gasket to use?

Any other things I should get?

Best,
Martin
