i forgot about this guy. i used his kit when i rebuilt my boys toyota engine. had pretty good luck with it. no problems at all. i will be getting different head gaskets(felpro) and header gaskets(remflex) so keep that in mind.

Well to me a gasket will make or break a job, So I am very picky about what I use for gaskets. I have just used the Mopar Performance gaskets for some recent work I did on my truck and they are very nice. Yes they are different than the stock one's from Mopar. Nothing wrong with Felpro either. I am not sure if the head gaskets will work with aluminum heads?

i agree. good gaskets are where its at. and i havent purchased my heads yet. still tooling with the idea of aluminum or iron. to be honest though i am kinda leaning towards the aluminum ones from edelbrock.

the gasket set i got for my boys toyota wasnt the best i didnt think, but they were pretty good. and he has been driving it for about 10k now with no leaks. and the kit i linked to has alot more stuff in it than the mopar one.....not saying i am gonna but the one i linked to, just saying.

About two weeks ago I was ready to get the edy's, even found a pair on the coast for $1500, Then I came across this in a mag my wife picked up for me. They will be here in 2-3 weeks. Just over $600 for the pair.

No that's with 1.94, But I was told that there is lot's of room to put in 2.02's if you like. Unless you are planing on going over 4500 rpm on a regular bases just keep the 1.94's

here's the gasket kit i went with. seems like it has just about everything. plus i have heard alot of good things about sealed power. also went ahead and got my remflex header gasket on the way too. i really like those remflex gaskets. gonna order new stage 8's also. got them now, but gonna put new ones in.
