FE gasket sets
« on: November 20, 2018, 12:14:21 PM »
Is there a best way to source gasket sets without ending up with a pile of umbrella valve seals, internal water pump gaskets and head gaskets you'll never use?

I prefer the 1020 head gaskets, but I also need gaskets for the valve covers, oil pan, oil pump, timing cover, water pump to block. Also nice to have the foam for the inspection cover.

I guess I'm looking for a performance oriented kit and not a rebuilder. I generally end up buying the rebuilder kit and then source the head gaskets and better oil pan gasket separately.

I have used a number of these kits:

Since the head, intake, oil pan, and valve cover gaskets are more specific to the build.
