Good affordable gaskets?

Fel-Pro IMO. Always treated me well... Buy a full set off RockAuto. Don't forget to get a 5% off coupon too off of retailmenot.

Never heard of that brand. Weird that that's all Rock Auto carries. Advance Auto carries a full Fel-Pro Performance Gasket set for $148. They also have a promo right now. Use the code VISA and it takes $50 off $150. So buy something else for $2 and you're set.
 
I second the fel-pro or if you do not care about brands just shop around at local parts stores. Prices vary in different areas.
 
I got the Topline head an block gasket sets. I got an OEM HG separately.
 
I have a 6 bolt.

When I bought my set, I was looking for the full set that included all oil seals, o-rings crush washers and spark plug gaskets. I found a set off of thedsmgraveyard.com which seems very good quality upon inspection. I also spoke with a main tech there and they said they use this to build some of their stockers. He also said the HG would be very good for my application, Evo3 16G & ARP studs. This set has everything, even a new seal for the timing cover.

Anyway here is the link, I couldn't find a better bang for my buck...$79
DSM Graveyard - Your #1 Source for DSM Parts! Everything is included EXCEPT for the exhaust mani to turbo & the turbo to 02 housing. Good luck and I can send you pics if'n ya wanna'
 
I ran those in my old car and the valve covers leaked. Hence why I bought Fel-Pro headgaskets separate to be safe. :)

I had the same problem with my Eristic valve cover gasket. I would never purchase anything from Eristic again. I have always had good luck with the Fel-Pro ones.
 
I've got them on 3 of my current vehicles and have installed them on many. I haven't had any problems with them.
 
Fel pro or oem. Felpro has good gaskets for the price, on the hg you decide, you gonna run stock or try to push high boost?
Right now, just a few psi above stock. I have an MLS head gasket, and a set of ARP head bolts. I'm thinking about the Felpro sets from Advance with the coupon code. One other question though, what do you guys think about the gasket sprays? Does anyone use a specific kind, or try to avoid them?
 
I personally wouldn't let any sealant anywhere close to a composite gasket. The gasket itself with a properly prepped surface will seal every time.
 
Why would you not just use OEM? Mitsu parts aren't that expensive (have you ever compared to some of the other manufacturers?) & you know the quality is there. Ontop of that, there are many online dealers & DSM shops, that are much cheeper vs the local dealer. Check out JNZ Tuning.

Personally I'd rather spend a couple more bucks on an OEM gasket vs buying one thats abit cheeper to find out it fails down the road & have to tear everything apart to do the job again.
