72518, Headgasket Kit
Posted by Star Turbo Talon, Apr-08-04 03:28 PM
Ok i picked up a 97 RS and the wonderful headgasket is leaking. I have read in the past some guys claiming to get their HG kit from the dealer or somewhere for 60.00. I cant seem to find the post for the life of me and i have searched. the best rpice i can fine is 130.00 through concelli or 80.00 for the apex kit from ebay. After the last apex kit i put on my talon.....i will not go that route!

here you go man, at the bottom of the page is the number. And don't forget to tell him you are from 2gnt. I picked mine up for 95 shipped and it is the whole upper gasket set.

Doug i am looking for the whole head kit....valve cover cam sensor ect kit. I realize the hg is pretty cheap on its own.

STV i thought the 97 had the updated HG? This stinks another days worth work

lol

Call Bob Kise at Fenton Dodge in Detroit. The # is 810-714-330, tell him you found him on 2gnt and he'll hook you up. I got all my stuff from him. He won't rip you in shipping eihter. :thumbsup

well napa's are independantly owned, so maybe that is why. I know that if I go to the Giles County Napa (10 minutes away) I can pay 26.00 for the mls hg, if I go to the Christiansburg Napa, I pay 48.00 for it.. so that's my guess.

Ok guys i am heading out now to pick up my headgasket kit from the dealer for 94.00. I used the shop i worked for to get the kit at wholesale price. Thats what deal Bob Kise gives us..whole sale price or what the mechanic at a private shop would pay. If anyone needs one in IL I can help you out so you dont have to pay shipping from Kise if you dont want to.

Thanks For your Help guys
