Source gaskets, coolant, oil, filter, and suchlike locally. Fel-pro gaskets please.
Any idea what brand gaskets come with the hughes kit?

I just bought the plate from them, and got my own gaskets, it was actually cheaper..... (of course, I get a good discount at my local parts store..... I spend enough money there, everyone knows me by name.....)

Someone from hughesengines.com actually responded to an email (rather quickly too).

"Me: I recently ordered the Plenum Repair Kit. Should've asked the before I ordered...But, what type of gaskets are included in the kit (i.e., fel-pro)?

Thanks

Repsonse: The brand of gaskets that are used in the kit are Victor Reinz. As a side note, the better sealing properties come from the aluminum plate, since it distributes the clamping force better than the Tin stock one.

Thank you for your interest!"

Not really saving much. Plus it saves the hassle of going around tryin to find everything separately. Then u gotta pay extra shipping...

When I bought mine I looked at Hughes and APS, then I looked at our ebay seller. Our seller was cheaper for me since I was going to a shop to get it done.

Ive done my plenum plate/gasket fix. I just havent been able to drive it much yet to see if there's any difference because of all my drivetrain problems. Hoping to get it fixed early next week!

Maybe not much if you have not gutted or replaced the cat and the o2 sensor.
