Cometic gaskets and ARP bolts

Most of the sponsors carry them

The stock bolts are Torque to Yield and should be thrown in the trash after you remove them

We have both GM and Cometic head gaskets along with GM and ARP bolts. Pretty competitive pricing as well. Everything is on the shelf and ready to go!

Bolts and Gaskets
