Who has gaskets the cheapest?
Who has gaskets the cheapest? I'm going to need a few gaskets for my swap, and am curious how many (if any) of the gaskets are re-usable? I have an '04 LM4 5.3l, am putting a cam in, so I'll need whatever gaskets for that, valve cover gaskets, I'm replacing the oil pan, and replacing the rear main seal at the minimum since it's out. Where is the cheapest place to get them? I've had really good luck with rockauto.com, curious if there are deals that sometimes the local stores maybe might be able to beat?

I've reused just about all my gaskets a few times, take a good look at the rubber inserts in the aluminum plate gaskets and if they look like they are in decent shape, get a tube of RTV and smear a thin coat on both sides before assembly

Advance Auto has a front end service kit for cam swaps. its about $50. Valve covers and oil pan gaskets can be bought there as well. I always use Fel-Pro.
