this is the one that I ended up buying, I'm not sure if it is everything "top to bottom."

It was US$32 and US$37 for postage. (7-10 working days)

all I was after is the head and perhaps the valve stem seals as a cylinder was aparently loosing pressure.

Which reminds me could anyone tell me when cylinder is "cylinder 3" is on a ea82?, according to the guy a bought it from that's the one which is loosing pressure.

as soon as it gets here i will tell you if they are any good.

Hey bennyg..

Yeah as you figure phill is right, ebay is your friend... Almost all the good deals i got were from ebay.. I just ended up gettin the complete engine gasket n seal kit cause i ended up using just about everything in it except for 1 or 2 gaskets...

How is she running..?? Well we are still in the honeymoon period and very much in love.. hahaha... I took her for a run out stockton beach the other weekend, it was a nice sunny n warn day... Was in low range 2nd n 3rd gear holding her at about 3500-4000rpm for 15-20 minutes straight and she loved it..!!! The temp guage didn't even go over half way....!! And she didn't use a drop of water and has used f**k all oil so far 2... Oh yeah and hasn't dropped a drop of oil either... so no oil leaks or any TOD..!! Yeah im luvin her.. She purring beautifully.... So far so good..

to me gaskets are gasket it comes down to how u fit them .
i rebiult a v8 555 Cummins engines in east timor back some time and all the gaskets wear hand made as the man i was doing the job for was too tight to but new ones .
over there if thay can not buy head gaskets tha will make them with a tin ring to seal the bores to the heads and it work .
and not one oil leak or water .lots of good red gasket stuff
