I'd do the WS6store.com head gaskets as they are just a bit thinner for a slight compression bump.

He asked for "...all gaskets except head gaskets".

eBay is fine. Vendors on here are better. Not sure what they mean by "conversion".

Those are a set used when converting from AFM/DOD to normal lifters and trays, plus valley cover.

Gotcha. I try to stick with the Gen III blocks, Gen IV rods. Just be sure to get a good rear main seal, you really don't want to have to replace that more then once. What do you need gaskets for? Gen IV?

Doesn't matter what it says, this is what is needed to put a '99 LQ4 together.
