#21287, "Engine Gaskets"




          

I'm planing on replacing all the gaskets on my engine next month, and was wondering if you guys knew where to get the best ones at? I'm figuring i'll nee the following:

Head Gasket

Valve Cover Gasket

Intake Manifold Gasket

Exhaust Manifold Gasket

Oil Pan Gasket

Am i Forgetting any? I'm going to spend one whole weekend doing some preventative maintenance and installing my cam gears & udp. I wanted to get these gaskets taken care of so that i can extend the life of my engine untill i can afford to get it totally rebuilt. As Always, thanks for the help....

You can reuse your stocker (it's tough as shit) just remember to seal it in the right places. New one is $35

If you are doing the head gasket, you might consider the whole upper gasket set. I think it had head, intake, exhaust, VC, plug well, cam, and filler neck. I bought new head bolts too. The stocker are built to yeild some during torque up. I figured "better safe than sorry" and replaced them too. I got all mine at the dealer. From what I've seen, they have the best quality gaskets (but you pay for it).

Go with dealership gaskets, for sure. I have used NAPA, FELPRO, etc, but if you want to do it right, get better quality gaskets, but pay more, go w/ dealership parts...
