Not sure if this is the right place anymore, but can somebody take a look at the link below and let me know if this seems like it would be good or if I'd be buying junk. The price says junk, but you never know, sometimes you can stumble across good deals (look at Parts Dinosaur!).

It is up to you, but I would buy gaskets from a brand that I know and trust. Unless you are rebuilding stock and flipping the car.

Buy a gasket kit from the dealer or get a FelPro kit.

it's probably an evergreen kit. they're sold on ebay all the time. I've used two sets of them, tim has a set on his car. all with no problem. a HG set is a HG set. go for it.

one of the sets i used on 18psi. no issues.

I also had a evergreen set on my 97 GS with no problems other than the valve cover gasket but I think there was more to that because I replaced it with a felpro and it still leaked.

Ended up getting the Victor set from CarQuest. It was there and sitting next to my freshly machined head (no cracks after the previous owners let it overheat and die).

It came with a big odd looking rectangular gasket, but since I don't know what it's for, I'm throwing it away.... probably best since I may have accidentally torn it as it was somehow intertwined with the MLS head gasket.

Now I'm just waiting on my valve springs to come in the mail and the head will be good to go! I'm going to run it as is until I save up enough for forged internals.... well, after some fun with a dremel and nice cams.

Any idea how Crower 2 Turbo Grind will work on a N/A application? It's temporary, can you guess what I'm planning on?

That "rectangular" gasket is the Neon DOHC upper to lower plenum gasket.

And no, you do not need it.
