Hey guys.. finally got my motor from the junk yard.. now while it's out of the car, I want to change the main seals in it. I already need to buy a intake and exhaust manifolt gasket.. so I was thinking of changing the oil pan and the valve covers at the same time because there is a minor oil leak. I mean really minor.. I think the excess oil on the motor might be some bad pooring when changing the oil. Anyway.. what do you guys think of this set on ebay?? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TOYOTA-3 ... 4065QQrdZ1 How much you figer it would cost for the valve covers, oil pan, intake and exhaust gaskets at an auto parts store? Would it be more affordable to get the set on ebay?? Anyway.. thanks guys. Gabe
thats a damn good price, you would be lucky to get the valve covers/oilpan/waterpump gasket for that price, however that makes me question the quality of the gaskets, but i suppose it couldnt hurt just dont use the head gasket unless you know for sure its a good one like rol etc.
i got the full set from the same seller, i cann post some big res pictures if some one wants them :roll:
Have you put them in your motor yet? I was going to just buy them at a local parts store, but for all those gaskets it will run me a pretty big bill. Really I dont need all of those.. but it would be nice to have some extras.
if it was me i would get a victor reinz set gasket set. that's all i will use at work and they usually come with MLS head gaskets and good others.
www.cometic.com has a nice gasket set. They a local company here around me. Ive been working on trying to get a sponsorship with them.
cometic...that's what i'm using now. i wouldn't see the need for one of these on a factory GE motor. these usually only apply to turbo motors, or those that use high compression. you should see if they would sponsor mine too!!
I never realized that they were local until I drove by them one day. Ive gotta stop back in and talk some different people. But Im pretty sure Im going to get a whole kit out of them.
Here's another gasket set I found on ebay... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/86-89-TO ... 7780QQrdZ1 My brother said he’s dealt with the top gasket company from my original post. He bought a gasket set for his Integra from them. Anyway... you guys ever heard of this company?
