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.

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
