as you all know I have recently been in need of gaskets and have bought same locally for what I though was a relative pile of money. I was just on ebay and noticed that some one was offering a whole engine kit for less than I paid for a head and intake. Does anyone know if these are ok to use? I go by the "if it sounds too good to be true it probably is" credo but I thought I would ask. thanx |

Those gasket kits on ebay are just fine, but I would spring for a better head gasket and use the other gaskets in the cheap kit. |

I would not be afraid of them, just coat them jobs up good with this, http://www.amazon.com/Products-Copper-Gasket-Compound-liquid/dp/B00030BFK6 |

Permatex Brake quiet works well too as a head gasket sealant. We use that stuff on MLS head gaskets that we reuse on supras, and also on the graphite head gaskets. It's been proven that you can safely boost with 2 more PSI on a composite HG that has been sprayed with copper sealant or brake quiet versus one that you do not spray. |

I've used Ebay gasket sets for all 3 of my metros. So far everything is fine. Along with all the gaskets I got the valve seals also. I've used the same seller all 3 times. YMMV
