So I was looking for gasket set tonight, and I found this,

and

I can get a complete set from TSP for $500 or a complete set from summit for $250... am I missing something?

 

those TSP kits you mentioned are using "cometic" brand gaskets... they are usually 2x the price of stock GM gaskets..

Supposedly the cometics seal better, I know alot of people use them for head gaskets because the come in .040 size to make quench in a ls1 optimal (.030-.040)

I dont know what brand gasket the summit racing uses..

just curious but what do you need a whole kit for, full engine rebuild?

 

ok thanks.


Well I have the engine out for a cam and head install, plus I had a rear main seal leek. So I figured I might as well replace all the gaskets well I am there.

 

yeah, what about this one

or this one, should save you some money over the cometic kit

plus these use GM gaskets

 

That deluxe one looks like it would have almost everything I need; would still have to get the oil pan gasket and rear main seal, but that still only makes it cost around $400 for quality gaskets plus it comes with the head bolts. I would much rather have quality over cheap

 

Yeah can't go wrong with GM gaskets..
