Will these work on my 5.2 im building i got out of a 99 durango? It says good till 97, but all the gaskets look the same as the ones i pulled out of my motor. I sent the seller a message but got no reply. I was just wondering if their is any change between the gaskets used on a 97 318, and a 99 318.

the only reason i was interested in this was because it has every gasket needed to do the whole motor for a fair price. My local parts stores only sell the gaskets individually, and that adds up quite fast. But I suppose if you recommend I steer clear of these, that would be my only option to just hand over the cash and get the good stuff.

im starting to think there may be some differences through the years. i looked at hughes engines website and they list different years for 5.2/5.9 full gasket sets as well. If I were you I would just call hughes engines and tell them the year of the motor and exactly what you need. Those guys really know what they're doing.

Should work not sure why they don't mention about 97.

For a good kit you are going to pay around 400 bucks or so. I wouldn't cheap out on a gasket. Especially stuff like head gaskets. Don't want to tear it apart again because you cheaped out. Just my 2 cents do whatever you want.
