Default Need gasket parts in Houston

Anyone know of a good place to get some Cometic 4.030 bore MLS head gaskets in Houston or close by?

Will probably just get valley cover, oil pan, front/rear cover, water pump, and front/rear main from local parts shop.....unless you guys have a reason not to.

If you can't find them locally we have all of those gaskets including the Cometics in stock and can ship the same day you order!

Wait on buying gaskets. Your gaskets are more than likly still fine, if the rubber is detached from the metal the replace them. If not just clean them up with soap/water and reuse them. I would buy a new rear main seal while you have it tore down, the others I would replace as needed...

Definitely, just trying to avoid the wait and shipping, depending on how things go for the tear down. If I were to order them tomorrow morning, would you guys be able to ship them tomorrow? Or if I ordered this afternoon, would ya'll be able to ship them today?

I only plan on buying the misc gaskets as needed, but the head gaskets will definitely need changing, different bore.

If you ordered pretty quickly this afternoon they could likely still leave today...but you'd wanna call pretty soon!

Texas Speed has very fast shipping.

No doubt head gaskets are a must, even if you were to stay the same bore. Too much work involved to try to save $100.00

Werd, just placed the order. Hopefully Friday they'll show up so I can get most of the top end done this weekend.
