They have the part numbers for the bolts and head gaskets separatly now, the kit is still available also.

 

Napa carries the gaskets (for MUCH less than GM...around $15 each). Do a search for the part #'s.

You're on your own w/ the stock bolts. Just pick up some vaseline on the way to the dealership...it won't hurt as much.

 

Napa isnt much cheaper than GM anymore.

GM wants $34 for 2 gaskets, and the part # is 12498543.

Call SDPC and ask for that part number. That is their price.

Also, if you want the bolts, you need two of these part #'s (one kit for each head).. 12498545...those are $17 a side, so $34 for all the bolts you need and $34 for both gaskets.

unfortunatly sdpc has the bolts on backorder and my heads are sitting on my garage floor... maybe ill have to break out the vasaline!

 

Order the gaskets and then buy some ARP head bolts for $150'ish from a sponsor. If you are gonna get reamed, at least get some bolts you can reuse.

 

true true... unfortunatly i'm just trying to put the car back to stock to sell it! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

 

I'm having the same problem with head gaskets from a GM dealership that wants me to buy them together with intake gaskets in a kit for $275.

Is the GM part number for the separate head gaskets only = 12498543?

Who is SDPC? Is this a GM dealer?
