I am in Korea now, so its a little hard for me to get part numbers.

I understand the new style head gasket P/N is
12573949. I have heard that it can be used on either side of the motor. (hense, only 1 part number) Is this correct? I understand this P/N will only get you 1 gasket, so 2 are needed when ordering. Am I correct?

Lastly, does anyone know if these head gaskets can be ordered seperatly, or are they part of the "head replacement kit"?

I would rather buy them seperatly instead of the complete "kit"

Anyone buy head gaskets lately?
Thanks,
Ron

I was using the other part number for the "new and improved multi-layer" headgasket. It is 12565390 and when you plug it in to Gm Parts Direct is comes up as individual headgaskets with a list of around $20. Hope this helps. I'm about to order some myself and the dealer close to me says this is a good p/n also.

At first it will give you an individual gasket...but when you go to order it, it will change it to the kit. I am at my wits end trying to find a legitimate part # for the individual gaskets.

I got my head gaskets from Pace Parts, they were $22 each.
