Gaskets?

Woha! Gasket sets cost lots. I want to remove my intake etc from my ej20 engine to paint the parts and bock but the cost of gasket sets is putting me off (gonna cost more than the bloody engine)! can i get a cheap one or just the manifold ones?

is that for an entire seal kit or something?

i pulled my engine down for painting/detailing, the only gaskets i replaced were the inlet manifold ones and even they looked as if they could have been reusued

they were genuine fuji subaru and were $8au each

I got a nice set of gaskets off the evil one.

But, have you tried a Main Stealer for those? You may be surprised at the price.
Some Scooby parts are cheap as chips, some aint.

You can get cheaper alternatives in eBay though.

Just replaced all seals on my 2.5. I shopped around and found these guys:

Extremely helpful and knowledgeable, nearly as much as Rich (RJES) but not quite. Gaskets were top notch and the head gaskets were half the price of main stealer and higher quality. I think their inlet manifold gaskets came to about £8 the pair. Take a look as they also have a shop on ebay.

I will definitely use again if and when the time comes.

Thanks
