Gasket set
Any recommendations on places to purchase a full engine gasket set, including metal head gasket for a Rev3 turbo, looking for a sensible cost/quality compromise?
Thanks

can't comment on those but the s-bits ones are as good as Toyotas own


Re: Gasket set
Personally wouldn't use ebay for things like gaskets.
would only buy either genuine or from a reputable dealer


Re: Gasket set
Me too, if you are going to rebuild the engine I'd only use a genuine Toyota gasket set.

Toyota is the only place to get seals and gaskets if you only want to do the job once.

Thanks for recommendation.





I only use genuine Toyota gaskets, oil seals and O rings in all my engine/gearbox builds and repairs.


The only exception is when an aftermarket head gasket is used for performance or fitment reasons.

Stay clear of they ebay ones you linked! None of them fit properly and the service you get is shocking when you call to enquire.
